Every week, we will bring you a selection of the best throws from quarterbacks across the NFL.
Sam Darnold to Jordan Addison
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold had himself a day with a five-touchdown performance in the 42-21 rout over the hapless Atlanta Falcons. With Kirk Cousins sheepishly throwing for no scores and two interceptions on the other side, Darnold showed why the Vikings were shrewd to move for him over the aging, immobile Cousins. He connected three times with emerging wideout Jordan Addison, and this dart to the sideline was one of many elite throws in this outing.

Jared Goff to Jameson Williams
Jared Goff! Jared Goff! Jared Goff! It is the time in Detroit to get very excited as their 12th win of the season over the Packers put them in the driving seat for the one seed in the NFC. Goff threw a dart over the middle to Jameson Williams at a key stage of the game in the second quarter. High-level throw!
Jared Goff thunderbolt. Can't do it better.

Bryce Young to Xavier Legette
Wow! The real Bryce Young is stepping up, and this scramble in his own end zone to give himself a chance to throw was legitimately brilliant…and the throw? Wow! An off-balance dart on the run with perfect precision and timing to find rookie Xavier Legette. This kid could be special.
Disgusting stuff from Bryce Young.
Geno Smith to Jaxon Smith-Njigba
There is nothing more beautiful than Geno Smith dealing. The much-loved veteran quarterback has found a forever place to be loved in Seattle, and his expert performance against division rivals the Arizona Cardinals, was outstanding. This perfectly weighted throw to star young slot receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was a joy to watch.
Geno Smith had to be fired up when he saw the safety bite ever so slightly on Smith-Njigba's initial stutter step inside, allowing him to create separation on corner route. With great pass pro, QB unloads the ball right after receiver cuts back outside out of his break. #Seahawks

Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua
Here come the Rams! Matthew Stafford is inspired and Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are balling out. Sean McVay is eyeing a sneaky postseason run to shock a few in the NFC, and if they do, it will be because of the elite arm of his quarterback, who sprayed the ball over the field to humiliate the Bills defense in a huge win. Nacua with a sensational grab from a ripping throw.
Awesome sideline throw and catch by Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua. Listen to Matthew Stafford yelling at his WRs before the play to get lined up.

Josh Allen to Khalil Shakir
The Bills might have come away with the loss, but Josh Allen came away with more evidence for an MVP award with an accomplished, professional showing against the upstart Rams. Allen delivered this perfectly flighted ball to Khalil Shakir near the goal line, it was inch perfect. Fair play to Shakir, who knew he was going to take a hit but laid it all on the line for his quarterback.
A dime from Allen to Shakir and he held on
Bart Simpson to Ralph Wiggum
It had to be done!
