He went 13-of-17 for 149 yards against the New England Patriots with a touchdown and an interception as the Jets lost 26-14. O'Brien later led the NFL with the lowest interception rate in 1987 and 1988. On September 21, 1986, O'Brien engaged in a famous duel with Dan Marino when the Jets played the Miami Dolphins.

On November 2 of that same year, he set history against the Seattle Seahawks. He threw for 431 yards while going 26-for-32 to become the first quarterback to achieve a perfect passer rating (158.3) while throwing for 400 yards. This would not be done again until Nick Foles in 2013. O'Brien did a second game with a perfect rating in the December 23, 1990 game against the New England Patriots by going 11-of-12 for 210 yards with two touchdowns. O'Brien threw 25 touchdown passes for the second-straight season and helped the Jets post a 10-6 record in 1986. However, Pat Ryan (who won two games as starter) started in the Wild Card Round versus Kansas City, which they won. O'Brien only came in action for the Divisional Round game versus Cleveland when Ryan got hurt early, but the Browns won. O'Brien went to the Pro Bowl twice, in 1985 and 1991. He retired after spending the 1993 season with the Philadelphia Eagles where he started only four games and mostly served as a backup for Randall Cunningham and Bubby Brister. Despite his occasional flashes with over 25,000 passing yards, O'Brien had a quarterback record of 50-59-1 as a starter, which saw him start over ten games for a team seven times while having a winning record just three times. Coaching career After retiring, O'Brien had a stint as an assistant coach for the University of Southern California, where he coached Heisman Trophy winner and former Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders, and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer. Personal life O'Brien and his wife Stacey have four children, with his first grandchild coming in 2018. As of 2019, O'Brien works at IWP Wealth Management in Manhattan Beach, California.
