Factoid
Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning have been transplanted into the AFC West, and that division is now home to two of three active quarterbacks with a least four games with 400 passing yards.
There aren’t a lot of these quarterbacks around. It’s not common to go over 400 yards, and to do it four times is rare.
I believe the last time a division was home to two of these quarterbacks was the NFC West with Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger. The only other time it’s happened in this century (I think) would be with Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testaverde in the AFC East.
