List of NFL players who have posted a passer rating of zero
The National Football League has seen a passer rating of zero posted 187 times: 183 times in the regular season and 4 times in the postseason.
To achieve a passer rating of zero in a game, a player must have no touchdowns, complete no more than 30% of his pass attempts, average less than three yards per attempt, and throw an interception on at least 9.5% of attempts. To qualify for this list, a player must have attempted at least ten passes ; 12 passes ; or 14 passes in the game in question. Using this criteria, 151 different players have posted a zero rating; 28 players have done it more than once.
Background
Eight players posted a zero rating on a record three occasions throughout their career. Red Kirkman, Hugh McCullough, Lamar McHan, and Gary Keithley are the only players ever to post zero ratings in two straight weeks. The NFL season|1939 season] saw a record ten games with a zero rating: Ray Carnelly, Parker Hall, Arnie Herber, Bert Johnson, Hugh McCullough, Coley McDonough, Frank Patrick, and Darrell Tully. The season with the second most was 1948. 13 players have posted two zero passer ratings in the same season: Red Kirkman, Johnny Gildea, Frank Patrick, Darnell Tully, Hugh McCullough, Al Dorow, Lamar McHan, Ralph Guglielmi, Cotton Davidson, Steve Tensi, Rick Norton, Gary Keithley, and Randy Hedberg.All four postseason zero ratings happened in a Championship Game: George Ratterman of the Buffalo Bills season|Buffalo Bills] in the AAFC season#Championship game|1948 AAFC Championship Game]; Tommy Thompson of the Philadelphia Eagles season|Philadelphia Eagles] in the 1948 NFL Championship Game; Otto Graham of the Cleveland Browns season|Cleveland Browns] in the 1953 NFL Championship Game; and Craig Morton of the Denver Broncos season|Denver Broncos] in Super Bowl XII. Out of the four, Thompson is the only one whose team won.
There have been three occasions where a starting quarterback and his mid-game replacement have both earned a zero rating in the same game: starter Joe Namath and replacement Richard Todd with the New York Jets, starter Vince Evans and replacement Bob Avellini with the Chicago Bears, and starter Terry Bradshaw and replacement Cliff Stoudt with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The most zero ratings on a single day in league history happened on November 19, 1939, when Ray Carnelly, Hugh McCullough, and Frank Patrick all posted zero ratings.
The longest period between NFL games with a zero passer rating is 7 years, 10 months, and 30 days, spanning from Chris Redman of the Atlanta Falcons season|Atlanta Falcons] on December 16, 2007, to Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos on November 15, 2015. Manning was 39 years and 236 days old in the 2015 game, the oldest age of any player to record a zero rating. In the Detroit Lions season|1939 season], Darrell Tully of the Detroit Lions posted a zero rating at the youngest age, 21 years and 319 days old. The most recent NFL zero passer rating game came on January 3, 2021, when Brandon Allen of the Cincinnati Bengals season|Cincinnati Bengals] went 6-21 with 48 yards and two interceptions against the Baltimore Ravens season|Baltimore Ravens]. The Bengals lost 3–38.
On one occasion, players on opposing teams both posted a zero rating: Gary Keithley and the St. Louis Cardinals defeated Bob Lee and the Atlanta Falcons. Of the 187 zero rating games, the team of a player who posted a zero rating has won 15 times ; 14 times in the regular season and once in the postseason. The most recent example of a team winning a game with a zero rating quarterback is when Brent Pease did so with the in Houston Oilers in Houston Oilers season|1988]. Four zero rating games have ended in a tie ; the most recent example of this is Len Dawson in Kansas City Chiefs season|1970]. Due to the NFL playoffs not allowing ties, all four such games have been in the regular season.
There have been 22 total zero passer rating games recorded by 14 Hall-of-Famers. The first was by Herber in 1933, and the most recent was by Peyton Manning in the 2015 season. 16 players who had a zero passer rating also earned a perfect passer rating during their careers: Otto Graham, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Terry Bradshaw, Len Dawson, Bob Griese, James Harris, Bob Lee, Scott Hunter, Dan Fouts, Craig Morton, Vince Evans, Rich Gannon, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, and Geno Smith.
The Arizona Cardinals franchise has had more zero rating games than any other franchise, with 18. The Chicago Bears have held opposing players to a zero passer rating more than any other franchise, having accomplished the feat 16 times.
