List of NFL quarterbacks by teams beaten

Last updated

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 he faced at least once. 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. The list is limited to the top 50 QBs by number of teams won against. Note that the list of teams not beaten includes only franchises that were active during the player's playing years.
