COLTS’ OLD MAN RYAN WINS WEEK 6, BILLS’ ALLEN GROWS SEASON LEAD IN MIAMI HERALD NFL QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: Indianapolis’ Matt Ryan wins Week 6 with a 59.45-point game — second best this season — to vault seven spots to No. 6 in the Miami Herald’s latest NFL Quarterback Rankings. Buffalo’s Josh Allen grows his overall season lead and is No. 1 for a fourth straight week. Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa, who led after Week 2, dips one more spot to 18th after another missed game but is expected to return this week. Our ratings system is cumulative not percentile based, rewarding players who are consistently productive and avoid injury or benching. QBs out on a bye week take a temporary hit, but that evens out over the course of a season. This is the 25th year for the Herald’s Passer Success System (PASS) rankings, which began in 1998, the year before Dan Marino retired, with Steve Young the first ever season champion. Our rankings factor accuracy, passing yardage, touchdown/interception ratio and team result. They are passer ratings per se and do not include a quarterback’s running statistics. Our updated top 25 (plus other Dolphins) for 2022:
