Jeff Driskel gets the call to start at quarterback on Sunday when the Cleveland Browns play the Cincinnati Bengals.
With the Browns safely locked into the fifth playoff spot, Kevin Stefanski is not going to risk injury to 38-year-old Joe Flacco.
Driskel becomes the fifth different player to start at quarterback for the Browns in the 2023 regular season.
The others are Flacco, PJ Walker, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and Deshaun Watson.
Another team that started 5 quarterbacks was the 1987 New England Patriots, possibly the only one.
Those starters were: Steve Grogan, Tom Ramsey, Tony Eason, Bob Bleier, and Doug Flutie.
For those of you who don’t remember Bleier, who split two starts in the strike-disrupted season:
Bob Bleier was one of the most prolific passers in Richmond football history, finishing his career first on the Spiders’ career lists with 1,169 career attempts, 672 completions, 8,057 passing yards and 54 passing touchdowns from 1983-86. Bleier owned three of the top five passing seasons in school history. He was Second Team All-Yankee Conference in 1986 and played in the Blue-Gray Game following that season. Bleier played for the New England Patriots of the National Football League in 1987.
