NFC East QB rankings: Where Jalen Hurts stands after Week 5

The NFC East quarterback ranking has fluctuated, leading to comparison phrases like "shake-up." Jameis Winston, the New York Giants' quarterback, delivered a strong Week 5 performance, completing 33 of 54 passes for 326 yards in an overtime tie against Washington, although he still has turnover issues. The Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts struggled, completing only 21 of 40 passes and contributing significantly to the Eagles' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars despite strong offensive support.

Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott, despite having the strongest overall case for being the division's best quarterback, did not play well, throwing two interceptions and failing to establish a reliable running game in a 16-point loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels, recovering from an elbow injury, returned to contribute significantly in his first game back, completing 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in a tie with the Giants, although Washington ultimately lost in overtime due to poor clock management.
