Passer rating is a pointless stat for a single game.
It was NEVER intended to be used that way; only to allow, as best as can be, an apples to apples comparison at the end of a season.
No one ever tried to use it as a single game metric until in 2004 when a rookie Roethlisberger had a game that created a perfect rating, so Steeler fans started running around trying to make him look like the greatest QB ever because of it. So then other fan bases started doing the same with their QBs, and it has snowballed since then.
