Every week we will bring you a selection of the best throws from quarterbacks across the NFL. Did you see an amazing throw worthy of inclusion? If so, you can tweet @TheQBList on Twitter to let us know and we’ll give you a shout-out here in the article if your tip makes the cut.

 

Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua

 

Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing right now as he enjoys a career renaissance after a series of injuries on a Rams team that is vying for a playoff spot. Stafford has found a new favorite toy in rookie Puka Nacua, who eclipsed 1,000 yards at the weekend thanks to this beautifully threaded throw from the veteran Stafford.

 

Gardner Minshew to Alec Pierce

 

Speaking of veterans enjoying their football, Gardner Minshew was also in top form as he threw for over 300 yards for the third time this season, bundling in two passing touchdowns on the way to a memorable Colts victory. This dime to Alec Pierce to win the game in overtime was Minshew’s best throw of the season.

 

CJ Stroud to Brevin Jordan

 

The fun never stops for Texans superstar rookie CJ Stroud, who found a way despite a less-than convincing performance in Houston’s win over the upstart Broncos. Stroud made all kinds of throws including this deft back-foot lob under pressure on second and long to find his open man, tight end Brevin Jordan in space to move the chains. Sometimes it is the little things.

 

Russell Wilson to Courtland Sutton

 

Despite the Broncos surrendering their five game win streak to the Texans, Russell Wilson certainly did all he could to keep Denver in the game. The receiving play of wideout Courtland Sutton has been a revelation this season as he has regained the form that made him a rookie sensation. This grab deep down field is one of the better throws and catches you’ll see in tandem this season.

 

Tua Tagovailoa to Tyreek Hill

 

Automatic! Every week…

 

Baker Mayfield to Mike Evans

 

In one of the worst games in living memory, the moribund Buccaneers just about overcame the derisory Panthers in a nearly unwatchable contest. The only highlight of note was this deep ball from Baker Mayfield to find Mike Evans for a 75-yard score.

 

Desmond Ridder to MyCole Pruitt

 

Yes, this game wasn’t much better either but this perfectly timed and placed throw from Desmond Ridder to find MyCole Pruitt in the back of the end zone was enough to see the Falcons over the line against the hapless Jets offense.

 

Joe Flacco to Elijah Moore

 

If you’re good enough, you’re old enough! Joe Flacco came in from the wilderness to lead the Browns admirably in a fun matchup against the Rams and fellow veteran Matthew Stafford. Flacco threw two scores and consistently made throws downfield for his receivers. Only a late pick spoilt what was a good outing.
