Purdy’s Historic Streak: A Shining Light in a turbulent 49ers Season
Despite a rollercoaster 2024 season for the San Francisco 49ers, quarterback Brock Purdy etched his name in NFL history books. While the team’s loss to the Detroit lions (40-34) exemplified the season’s ups and downs, Purdy’s performance showcased his remarkable talent.
Even though Purdy started strong, two interceptions in the second half highlighted the challenges he faced. However, his three touchdown passes and a passer rating of 116.0 solidified his place in NFL history. With 15 games featuring at least two touchdown passes and a rating of 115.0 or higher in his frist three seasons, Purdy surpassed Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, who holds 14 such games.
This achievement places Purdy at the top of a prestigious list:
| Ranking | Player | Matches |
|—|—|—|
| 1. | QB Brock purdy, San Francisco | 15 |
| 2. | QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City | 14 |
| 3. | QB Russell Wilson, Seattle | 14 |
| 4. | QB Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers | 13 |
| 5t. | four players | 11 |
Purdy’s 377 passing yards against the Lions, achieved by completing 27 of 35 attempts with an average of 10.8 yards per pass, marked a new career high. This performance propelled him up the 49ers’ all-time rankings, surpassing legendary quarterbacks like Alex Smith and Jeff Garcia in several statistical categories.
