Brock Purdy chasing first octuple crown in NFL history: Breaking down each category and where 49ers QB ranks

Brock Purdy is a heavy NFL MVP favorite entering a showdown on Christmas night on “Monday Night Football” against the Ravens. 

He is on track to set an NFL-record for yards per attempt in a season (9.9), a feat that faces a significant challenge vs. the Ravens No. 1 defense.

His MVP credentials go beyond one statistic, though. He littered the NFL passing leaderboard entering Week 16, ranking top two in completion rate, pass yards, touchdown passes, yards per attempt, TD-INT ratio, passer rating, pass touchdown percentage and yards per completion.

He’s on the doorstep of several rare clubs, including one where he would be the inaugural member. One of one.
