Question

Sunday's AFC Championship will feature quarterbacks with a combined 57 starts in playoff games. Tom Brady starting his 31st, and Peyton Manning starting his 26th. That's an all-time record. What pair of quarterbacks started in the first playoff game with a combined 30 starts between the two quarterbacks?

Answer

Terry Bradshaw (14th) vs. Roger Staubach (16th), when the Steelers played the Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII, at the end of the 1978 season. In the '90s, we saw a couple of games with 35 starts of quarterbacking between them -- Montana vs. Kelly in January, 1993, and Elway vs. Marino in January, 1999.
