2023 NFL starting quarterback passer rating leaders
QB reports
It was a wild ride for QBs all season, with many teams relying on second- or even third-stringers. So, with that in mind, there is little surprise that the passer rating leader at the end of Week 18 is rather shocking (albeit a small sample size) when looking back to the opening kickoffs in September.
Here are the top passer rating leaders for the 2023 NFL regular season, listed in descending order.
