What Pass rating is

Passer rating: the NFL's traditional quarterback formula, built from completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdown rate and interception rate on a scale that tops out at 158.3. Familiar, and heavily weighted toward completion percentage, so it flatters short-passing offenses.

Higher is better. It is a rate, so a team's number does not grow with games played. Source: P + N.

Through Week 6 of 2026, the 49ers lead at 115.47; the league average is 86.75.
