3. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers (25/31, 367 yards, 2 TDs)

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers just absolutely throttled the Chicago Bears in Week 5, and it felt like Love could not miss. He went 25/31, which is good for an 80.6 completion percentage. Love also finished with 367 yards and two touchdowns, which all came out to a 137.5 passer rating, which was the best of his season thus far.

Despite the dysfunction that the Packers are dealing with on the injury front, they're not 3-2, and if Love is able to keep this ship sailing in the right direction, we can't totally count this team out. This was a masterful performance by Love in a huge divisional game.

2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (12/19, 210 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 121 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown )

Perhaps one of the crazier QB stat lines we'll see this year, Josh Allen completed just 12 passes, but he still managed 210 yards. He also added another 121 yards on the ground, finishing with two total touchdowns in what turned out to be a huge Buffalo Bills victory. His performance is good for No. 2 in our power rankings.

Allen actually nearly finished with as many rushing attempts as passing completions, because of course he did. He can be the single-best player in sports any given week, and his unique skillset was on full display in Week 5.

1. Drake Maye, New England Patriots (26/34, 374 yards, 4 TDs, 25 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown)

Is Drake Maye back...?

We might be going from 'Drake Maybe' to Drake yes.

Maye went 26/34 for 374 yards in Week 5. He added four touchdowns through the air and another on the ground, finishing with 399 total yards and five touchdowns in an utter domination. Perhaps Maye's struggles just a couple of weeks ago were early bumps in the road that are getting fixed.

He still does have more 'bad' play this year than good, but his last to week have to have New England Patriots fans breathing a heavy sigh of relief, as he might be back.
