Brock Purdy Establishes Passer Rating Record After 49ers Victory Over Patriots

Brock Purdy helped the San Francisco 49ers return to .500 early in the 2024 NFL season via a 30-13 victory over the New England Patriots. The former Iowa State standout had 15 completions for 288 yards and a touchdown for the reigning NFC champions. Meanwhile, his 89.7 passer rating led him to establish a record among NFL quarterbacks.

As the NFL on CBS account on Twitter/X pointed out, Purdy has the highest passer rating for a quarterback’s first 25 starts since the NFL-AFL merger. Purdy’s 112.6 rating is slightly higher than Patrick Mahomes’ mark (112.5) and obliterates Kurt Warner’s 106.2 grade.

However, that accomplishment is superficial if he can’t bring his team to greater heights. Luckily for Niners fans, Purdy has done the opposite since becoming the team’s starter in 2022. In addition to two NFC Championship Game stints, Purdy led the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII, which they eventually lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.

This season, the 49ers ended a two-game skid by defeating the Patriots. Purdy’s performance led to a George Kittle receiving touchdown and Jauan Jennings leading their receivers with 88 yards. After the Patriots, the Niners will stay home to welcome their division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals, in Week 5.
