Once everyone tuned in to Monday Night Football, no one could overlook the San Francisco 49ers' QB, Brock Purdy. From the opening bell, Purdy was in total command against the Washington Commanders.

He had already completed a touchdown pass to George Kittle to put the 49ers on the board first. In the process, Purdy etched his place in NFL history in a very unique way, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Purdy now has the highest career passer rating among all QBs in NFL history who have thrown at least 1,500 attempts at 105.4. Furthermore, Purdy has surpassed Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers for the top spot.

Jackson has a rating of 102. 7 and Rodgers has 101.8.

Since coming into the league in 2022, dubbed ‘Mr. Irrelevant ‘, Purdy has overdelivered after being overlooked. He has emerged as one of the most efficient QBs in the present-day NFL. He has also shown he is a viable MVP candidate. Additionally, Purdy is now in the same conversation as Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen for top honors.

After Monday, the 49ers will play the Atlanta Falcons on the road on Sunday, October 25. He will face Kirk Cousins. His next big QB matchup after that will be against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on November 15.
