NFL Week 9 Predictions: Projecting the Week's Worst QBs

The following five quarterbacks should have the most trouble in their Week 9 matchups:

Colt McCoy, Cleveland Browns

McCoy was tossed around against the 49ers last Sunday. As a result, he did what he's done all season long and turn the ball over.

McCoy threw an interception and had four fumbles, one of which was lost. The task doesn't get any easier this Sunday, as the Browns travel to Houston to play the 4-3 Texans.

Since Mario Williams went out, the Texans have given up less than 160 yards per game through the air.

Matt Moore, Miami Dolphins

In Moore's four games this season, the Dolphins have thrown for over 200 yards just once.

Rest assured, the Dolphins offense just isn't very good. What's more, Moore is a big part of that problem. The Miami signal-caller did score a rushing touchdown against the Giants, but I wouldn't count on that being a regular occurrence.

The Chiefs have given up chunks of yards this season to quarterbacks, but that defense is slowly turning things around.

John Beck, Washington Redskins

If the punchless Bills defense shut out Beck and the Redskins last Sunday, what in the world will happen when the 49ers and their top defense travel to Washington this week?

It could get ugly for Beck. He was sacked nine times against Buffalo, while his weapons—Tim Hightower, Chris Cooley, Santana Moss and Fred Davis—continue to drop like flies.

Beck is in for a long day at the office against the Niners.

Curtis Painter, Indianapolis Colts

Painter is going to be a regular in this space for the rest of the season. He's had his moments, but there won't be many this weekend when the Falcons come to Indianapolis.

Before the bye, Atlanta effectively shut down both Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford in consecutive weeks. Rested and confident, the Falcons defense won't paint a pretty picture for Painter.

Matt Hasselbeck, Tennessee Titans

It's time to start giving the Bengals and their pass defense a little credit. They've been a top unit all season long, which is a big reason why Cincinnati has started 5-2.

Without a running game in Chris Johnson and his top target Kenny Britt, Hasselbeck could struggle at home in this matchup.
