NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Brock Purdy has set a new NFL all-time record for highest career passer rating at 105.6, surpassing the previous record held by Lamar Jackson.
- Purdy qualified for the official record by surpassing 1,500 pass attempts, completing 1,038 of 1,524 passes for 13,145 yards, with 98 touchdowns and 39 interceptions.
- The previous top passer ratings were Lamar Jackson (102.7), Aaron Rodgers (101.8), Joe Burrow (101.3), and Patrick Mahomes (100.8).
- Purdy's lead is substantial enough that it is unlikely to be surpassed soon unless he significantly declines or another quarterback has an extraordinary season.
- The passer rating formula, adopted by the NFL in 1973, combines completion percentage, yards per pass, touchdown percentage, and interception percentage, serving as a rough but widely used measure of quarterback performance.
