Question
Nick Foles in 2017 threw only 5 TDs in the regular season but led Philadelphia to its first Super Bowl title. What two starting quarterbacks have won Super Bowls after throwing even fewer touchdown passes in the regular season?
Answer
Bob Griese (1972) and Jeff Hostetler (1990). In Miami’s undefeated season in 1972, Griese was sidelined for all but five regular-season games; he threw 4 TDs in those games. For the 1990 Giants, Hostetler replaced Phil Simms for the final two regular-season games, throwing only 3 TDs.
