Question
Derek Carr retired on Saturday. He started 170 games in his career but never won a playoff game. (His only playoff start was a loss at Cincinnati.) Who are the only other two quarterbacks who’ve started more NFL games, but never as a winner in a playoff game? One of these is attainable for a typical reader; the other played predominantly in the ‘70s.
Answer
Jim Hart and Andy Dalton. Hart started 180 regular-season games for the St. Louis Cardinals; he lost his two playoff starts. Dalton has started 168 regular-season games (one fewer than Carr), but is 0-4 in playoff games.
