NFL Twitter reacts to Brock Purdy’s perfect 158.3 passer rating vs. Bucs

Brock Purdy NFL Bucs 49ers Joe Montana David Lombardi George Kittle Josh Allen Steve Young Chase Daniel

Brock Purdy was perfect in the San Francisco 49ers’ 27-13 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not nearly perfect — perfect, well according to pass rating.

On the way to throwing three touchdown passes, the 49ers’ passer posted a 158.3 pass rating — the highest number for the metric.

Purdy became the second quarterback in 49ers franchise history to record a perfect passer rating with a minimum of 15 attempts in a game. During his MVP campaign in 1989, Joe Montana also posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in a game. Purdy, Montana and Steve Young are the only quarterbacks in franchise history to post a perfect rating. However, Young only attempted 12 passes and Montana only attempted 19.

On Sunday against the Bills, Purdy threw for 333 yards on 21-of-22 passing to along with three touchdown passes.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is the only other quarterback to notch a perfect passer rating this season. Allen shredded the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 on his way to a 158.3 rating. Allen and Purdy are the first quarterbacks to post a perfect pass rating since Tom Brady in the 2020 season.

Following Purdy’s perfect day in Santa Clara, the NFL community on Twitter chimed in with a flurry of reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on on Sunday afternoon.
