The 'Most starts by an NFL quarterback' quiz

After losing three games in a row with Jake Browning at quarterback, the Cincinnati Bengals made a bold move to try and save their season by trading for veteran Joe Flacco. 

Flacco earned a reputation in 2023 as a mid-season savior by joining the injury-riddled Browns from his couch and guiding them to a 4-1 record over their last five games to earn a spot in the playoffs. In those five regular season games he threw for 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns. 

But in his 10 starts since then (six with Indianapolis in 2024 and four with Cleveland this season), Flacco has struggled, going 3-7, including 1-3 in 2025 before getting benched for rookie Dillon Gabriel. But with the significant struggles of Jake Browning with Joe Burrow sidelined until at least December, Flacco is expected to start right away for Cincinnati against the Green Bay Packers. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Flacco’s start on Sunday for the Bengals will be his 196th for his sixth NFL team. With that being said, can you name every NFL quarterback to start at least 150 games in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) in six minutes?

Good luck!
