49ers QB Brock Purdy is poised to take over top spot on career passer rating list

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, is on track to surpass Lamar Jackson's record for the highest passer rating in NFL history. Currently sitting at 105.4, Purdy will reach the 1,500 career pass attempts threshold this week, placing him atop the all-time list. While the 49ers (5-0) face the Washington Commanders (1-3-1) in an upcoming Monday night game, Purdy remains focused on his team's success rather than the statistical milestone.

Purdy attributes his efficiency to the support of his coaches and teammates, emphasizing the team's overall performance over individual stats.
