Brock Purdy etched his name in the San Francisco 49ers record books on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. The quarterback needed only 229 passing yards to set a new franchise record for the most passing yards in a single season. Purdy surpassed that mark in the fourth quarter, breaking the record of 4,278 passing yards set by Jeff Garcia in 2000. Purdy has 4,280 passing yards as of this post.
Notably, Purdy accomplished the feat in 16 games, not requiring the 17th game of the season to break the record. It's even more impressive when you consider that Purdy is only in his second NFL season after becoming a starter in December of 2022.

Purdy is only the third quarterback in franchise history to throw for over 4,000 yards, joining Garcia and Steve Young, who did it in 1993 and 1998.
With his two passing touchdowns against the Commanders, Purdy also became the first 49ers quarterback to throw at least 30 touchdowns in a season since Jeff Garcia did so in 2001 (32 TDs).
San Francisco made Purdy the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He entered last season as the third quarterback on the depth chart, with injuries thrusting him into the spotlight late in the season.
Depending on the outcome of the game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles, Purdy may have an opportunity to add to the record next weekend against the Los Angeles Rams.
