- If Purdy wins all of his games by then, including the matchup against the Seahawks, one of the 49ers' biggest rivals, he could surpass Roethlisberger's streak by Week 12.

- Purdy also made NFL history by becoming the first quarterback to win his first six regular seasons while throwing multiple touchdowns in each game and having a QB rating of at least 95 in each game.
