Question

Arizona plays at Los Angeles tonight, providing a rare postseason matchup of quarterbacks who both were selected No. 1 overall in the draft – Matthew Stafford and Kyler Murray. When was the last time there was a playoff game featuring two starting quarterbacks who both were the first pick of the draft?

Answer

Super Bowl 50, following the 2015 season, with Denver (Peyton Manning) beating Carolina (Cam Newton). Newton in the NFC Championship game that season squared off against Carson Palmer. A few years earlier, both Andrew Luck and Alex Smith were involved in a couple of these games (one against each other, and each had one against a Manning brother).
