San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy became the team's starter in Week 14 of last season and has not looked back. After leading the 49ers to victory in each of their final five regular-season games in 2022, Purdy recorded 220 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and no interceptions for a 111.3 rating in San Francisco's victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday. It marked his sixth consecutive regular-season start with at least two touchdown passes and a passer rating of 95 or higher.

With two touchdown passes at the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday (1:05 PM PT, FOX), Purdy will join Billy Volek as the only quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era with at least two touchdown passes in each of his first seven career starts. He can also become the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era with a passer rating of 95 or higher in each of his first seven career starts.

Purdy, who will be 23 years and 264 days old on Sunday, can also join Patrick Mahomes and Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks ever under the age of 24 to record a passer rating of 95 or higher in seven consecutive starts.

Brock Purdy's six career regular-season starts:

Season, Week Opponent Result Pass Yards TD Passes Passer Rating
2022, Week 14 vs. Tampa Bay W 35-7 185 2 134.0
2022, Week 15 at Seattle W 21-13 217 2 117.0
2022, Week 16 vs. Washington W 37-20 234 2 114.6
2022, Week 17 at Las Vegas W 37-34 (OT) 284 2 95.4
2022, Week 18 vs. Arizona W 38-13 178 3 141.2
2023, Week 1 at Pittsburgh W 30-7 220 2 111.3
