List of NFL annual passer rating leaders

Add article description

In American football, passer rating is a measure of the performance of passers, primarily quarterbacks.[2] Passer rating is calculated using a player's passing attempts, completions, passing yards, passing touchdowns, and interceptions. Passer rating in the National Football League (NFL) is measured on a scale from 0 to 158.3, with a higher passer rating reflecting a stronger overall performance.[2]

Aaron Rodgers holds the single-season passer rating record, achieving a rating of 122.5 in 2011.[1]

Since 1973, passer rating has been the official formula used by the NFL to determine its passing leader.[3] Passer rating is sometimes colloquially referred to as “quarterback rating” or “QB rating”, however the statistic applies only to passing (not to other contributions by a quarterback) and applies to any player at any position who throws a forward pass, not just to quarterbacks.

The single-season passer rating record is held by Aaron Rodgers who had a rating of 122.5 in 2011 with the Green Bay Packers.[1] Steve Young has led the NFL in passer rating a record six different times while Len Dawson achieved the same feat in the AFL.
