Question

Including the playoffs, Tom Brady has started 228 games. Aaron Rodgers has started 108. But these quarterbacks have never started against each other (Rodgers missed the Patriots-Packers game four years ago). What pair of Hall of Fame quarterbacks were once involved in a similar game (not meeting until both had started over 100 games)?

Answer

Johnny Unitas and Len Dawson. With the AFL and NFL being separate leagues in the '60s, they didn't play until 1970, when Unitas had started 163 games and Dawson had started 110. The all-time champions in this category, I think, are Len Dawson and Norm Snead, who met in 1975 in the 171st and 174st starts of their careers, but I even if I added in his team, college and age, I don't think anybody could have come up with Snead.
