30 NFL records that could be broken this season
By Nick Villano
20. Josh Allen, Passer Rating in a season
Allen will get into that playoff game with a historic regular season under his belt. Right now, the greatest passer rating in a season is 122.5 by Aaron Rodgers in 2011. Only one other player (Peyton Manning) has ever had a passer rating over 120 in a season.
Allen has one season where he had a passer rating over 100 for a season. In 2020, Allen threw for 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He finished the season with a 107.2 passer rating, which wasn’t even the league lead (Rodgers had his second 120+ passer rating season). This season, Allen will push for perfection on the field. He lowkey had a rough season last year compared to years past.
The competition between Allen, Joe Burrow, and Patrick Mahomes should push him to new heights. He’s 27 years old this year, so he is right in the middle of his prime. This should be his best season.
To beat Rodgers’ record, Allen needs a stat line that looks something like the following: 5,345 yards, 50 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and a 69.9 completion percentage. Those would all be career highs/lows. This is a huge season for Allen and the Bills, and the quarterback is going to step up.
