The 'Oldest starting QB by NFL team' quiz

Happy 41st birthday to 18-year NFL veteran, 2023 Comeback Player of the Year and Super Bowl XLVII champion and MVP, Joe Flacco!

After being selected with the 18th-overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft out of Delaware, Flacco immediately took on the starting role for the Baltimore Ravens as a rookie. While he threw just 14 touchdowns to 12 interceptions that season, he also racked up 2,971 yards and 11 wins.

He’d play 11 seasons with the Ravens, and he’s still the franchise’s all-time leader in passing yards (28,245) and touchdowns (212), but he’s since established himself as a reliable backup/emergency quarterback. The Browns brought him in off the couch in 2023, when he helped guide them to the playoffs by going 4-1 in five starts. This year, the Cincinnati Bengals traded for him from Cleveland in hopes of saving their season after an injury to Joe Burrow and poor play from Jake Browning.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Flacco is the oldest quarterback to start a game for not one, but two different NFL franchises. With that being said, can you name the oldest player to start at quarterback for each NFL team?

Good luck!
