List of NFL quarterbacks by teams beaten

A starting NFL quarterback is the only player who receives credit for his team's wins and losses. There have been a select few who have beaten every team they faced. Also, if a quarterback plays for more than one team, there is a possibility he can beat every team in the league. This is a list of the number of teams each quarterback has won a game against in both regular season and playoffs, along with a list of the teams he did not beat in his career. Note that the list of teams not beaten includes only franchises that were active during the player's playing years.
