Data dump time. In writing about the Arizona Cardinals for this week’s Sunday Night Football column, I became curious about which playoff teams since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger have had at least three different quarterbacks start games in the regular season. So, off to P-F-R I went! A couple hundred browser tabs later, I had produced the following list, which excludes the 1987 season because of the use of replacement players. The Cardinals subsequently joined the list, and I have continued to update it for future seasons.
