List of NFL players who have posted a perfect passer rating information
In the National Football League (NFL), the highest official passer rating that a player can achieve is 158.3, which is called a "perfect passer rating".[1] To qualify, during a single game a player must attempt at least 10 passes, have no interceptions, have a minimum completion percentage of 77.5%, have a minimum of 11.875% of their passes score touchdowns, and have a minimum of 12.5 yards per attempt. The passer rating was developed in 1971.[2][3]
As of the 2023 season, there have been 78 instances of a perfect passer rating in the regular season among 65 players. Seven players have achieved the feat more than once: Ben Roethlisberger four times; Tom Brady, Lamar Jackson, Peyton Manning, and Kurt Warner three times each; and Craig Morton and Ken O'Brien twice each.
Four players have posted a perfect passer rating in a postseason game: Terry Bradshaw, Dave Krieg, Peyton Manning and Don Meredith. Krieg and Manning are the only players to have a perfect passer rating during the regular season and the postseason. No player has posted multiple perfect passer ratings in the postseason.
Ben Roethlisberger (2007) and Lamar Jackson (2019) are the only quarterbacks with multiple perfect ratings in a single regular season. Three teams have had two different quarterbacks achieve a perfect rating in the same season: The 1954 Cleveland Browns with Otto Graham and George Ratterman, the 1973 Atlanta Falcons with Dick Shiner and Bob Lee, and the 1989 San Francisco 49ers with Steve Young and Joe Montana. Peyton Manning had a perfect rating in the 2003 regular season followed by one in the 2003 postseason.
Drew Bledsoe, Robert Griffin III, and Marcus Mariota are the only players to achieve a perfect passer rating in their rookie seasons, with Mariota being the only quarterback to post one in his NFL debut.[4]
Five of these performances were in a losing cause, though Chad Pennington was the only quarterback to play from start to finish and record both a loss and a perfect rating. Fourteen players have had a game in which they earned a perfect 158.3 passer rating and another game in which they earned a 0.0, the lowest possible passer rating, during their career. Geno Smith had a perfect rating and a zero rating in the same season (2014).[5]
