The 'Most QB starts in the Super Bowl Era' quiz

The Atlanta Falcons have lost five games in a row after dropping their Week 11 contest 30-27 in overtime at home to the Carolina Panthers, and it looks like they lost more than that as well. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. exited the game after reportedly aggravating a knee injury from earlier in the season and is not expected to return in 2025 for the 3-7 Falcons. 

Veteran Kirk Cousins will likely be QB1 the rest of the way for a Falcons squad in danger of falling into a tie for last place in the NFC South if they lose to New Orleans next week. The 14-year veteran has one start so far in 2025, going 21-for-31 with 173 yards in a 34-10 loss to Miami in Week 8. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. When Cousins takes the field against the Saints in Week 12, he’ll move into a tie with Donovan McNabb for the 32nd-most starts by a quarterback in the Super Bowl Era. With that being said, how many of the NFL quarterbacks to start at least 150 games since the 1966 season can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
