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

Here’s what fans and analysts were saying on Twitter after Brock Purdy posted a perfect passer rating in the 49ers’ win over the Bucs.

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.

Watch: Rookie Ji’Ayir Brown secures first career interception vs. Bucs

Ji’Ayir Brown has arrived.

After a quiet start to his rookie campaign,  Ji’Ayir Brown’s coming out party came in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With Talanoa Hufanga leaving the game due to injury, Steve Wilks and the 49ers defense needed to lean on Brown in the secondary against Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the Bucs.

Despite giving up a gain to Rakim Jarrett, Brown shined when the Bucs were approaching the end zone. After forcing the Bucs off the field with a clutch pass deflection against Evans on fourth down, Brown didn’t wast much time securing the first interception of his NFL career.

Again with the Bucs near the end zone, the former Penn State Nittany Lion came away with an interception on a deflected pass from Baker Mayfield. Behind Brown’s interception, the 49ers ended the Bucs’ hopes of a late comeback on Sunday in Week 11.

Watch: Rookie Ji’Ayir Brown comes up with clutch pass deflection on fourth down vs. Bucs’ Mike Evans

With injuries in the secondary, the 49ers rookie safety came through clutch against the Buccaneers.

With Talanoa Hufanga ruled out due to injury, rookie safety Ji’Ayir Brown was trusted into the spotlight against Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense.

With eyes on the rookie, the Penn State product answered the bell when the Bucs were threatening in the red zone. After giving up a long catch to Rakim Jarrett, Brown bounced back when the Bucs were looking to put it in the end zone on fourth down.

With pressure in his face, Baker Mayfield floated a pass toward Evans. Yet, the future Hall of Fame receiver was left empty handed when Brown go in the way for a clutch pass deflection. With the deflection, the 49ers defense gave the ball back to Brock Purdy and the offense with the lead at 27-14.
