12. Jay Cutler, Week 2:
With how the Bears season is going not many would have guessed that Cutler would have made this list, but early on in the season he was playing much better. In Week 2 against the 49ers he tossed four touchdowns and zero interceptions in a 28-20 victory in San Francisco. Unfortunately for Cutler and the Bears its been downhill since that game. Interestingly enough, he only threw for 176 yards in the contest despite throwing four touchdowns.

11. Kyle Orton, Week 8:
Kyle Orton, that’s right, put together one of the better quarterback performances of the 2014 NFL season. In Week 8 he led the Bills to a 43-23 victory over the Jets on the road. He threw for four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and 238 yards on only 10 completions. He averaged 14 yards per completion on the day and 40 percent of his completions went for scores. It was an impressive game but I’m willing to be it will be Mr. Orton’s top game of the season.
10. Tom Brady, Week 6:
This is the first of two performances Brady has in this list. In Week 6 he led the Patriots to a 37-22 victory on the road over the Bills. Brady threw four touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also threw for 361 yards averaging 9.8 yards per completion. The win was one of five straight wins for the Pats, a streak that is still intact.
