Question

Patriots host the Giants tonight, likely making for the final meeting between Tom Brady and Eli Manning. They played in the Super Bowl following the 2007 season, and they’re both still in the league. But they haven’t started against each other since November, 2015. What two other quarterbacks started against each other in a Super Bowl, then started against each other again in a game played just short of 10 years later?

Answer

Joe Montana and Dan Marino. The 49ers beat Miami 38-16 in the Super Bowl played in January, 1985. In December, 1994, Marino helped Miami beat Kansas City 27-17 in a playoff game (the final game of Montana’s career). One other Super Bowl featured two starting quarterbacks who went on to play at least 10 more seasons – Packers (Brett Favre) and Patriots (Drew Bledsoe) following the 1996 season.
