ESPN has made some changes to their formula for total QBR, which has become a widely used metric to evaluate quarterbacks.

How interception returns, pressure and credit for yards after the catch are factored were changed.

Russell Wilson's QBR increased by 8.2 points, moving him from 12th to eighth in the rankings. Wilson was one of the top players in the NFL when under pressure.

Aaron Rodgers' QBR decreased by 5.2 points, but he remained ranked second. Rodgers' QBR decreased due to how the new formula handles yards after the catch.
