15. Eli Manning, Week 4:
Manning came out and threw for four touchdowns against Washington. Despite the fact that he threw an interception in the game it was definitely his top outing of the year. He threw for exactly 300 yards on 28 completions (71.8 completion percentage). The Giants won the game 45-14 and it raised them to a 2-2 record. Unfortunately they’ve lost four straight and Manning hasn’t repeated his performance since.

14. Derek Carr, Week 6:
The only rookie to crack this list is the the Raiders’ Carr. He threw for four touchdowns against a good San Diego squad in Week 6. He amassed 282 yards on the air and averaged 8.3 yards per completion. Although, Carr did throw one interception and the Raiders couldn’t pull out the win. They’re currently 0-9 on the year and there isn’t much that he can do.
13. Peyton Manning, Week 10:
This week Peyton came out and threw for the most touchdowns he has all season (5). Why is this game ranked so low you ask? His two interceptions. Without those his most recent game would have cracked the top 5 of this list. Still, he passed for 340 yards with a 70.5 completion percentage in the Broncos’ 41-17 shellacking of the Raiders. Manning has been great all year, he appears again later on in this list.
