Former Cincinnati Bengals QB Ken Anderson retired as the highest rated passer in the history of the AFC. He was the highest rated passer in NFL post-merger playoff history at 93.5. He produced the highest rated passing performance in the history of Conference Championship games (115.9 vs. San Diego in the Freezer Bowl at -59 degrees wind chill, breaking Roger Staubach’s record of 112.2) and the highest rated performance in Super Bowl history for anyone with more than 30 attempts (95.2). He set the mark for the highest cmp-percentage in Super Bowl history at 73.5%. His single-season cmp-percentage record of 70.6% stood for 27-years before Drew Brees broke it by less than 0.1% in 2009. His single-game cmp-percentage record of 90.9% (20 of 22) was set vs. the Steel Curtain’s No. 1 ranked defense in 1974. They held all other opponents that season to 127 of 317 (40.06%). His era-adjusted Rate+ career mark of 114 places him right in between Tom Brady (115) and Patrick Mahomes (113). He produced 8 winning seasons—only 3 of which were backed by a Top-10 defense. Anderson is not a borderline/fringe candidate. He is one of the most dominant players in NFL history. #Bengals | #WhoDey
