The other guys: A Super Bowl case for three QBs not named Brady

Championship Sunday will consist of Tom Brady and ... the other guys. The GOAT vs. the … really?

Case Keenum, Nick Foles and Blake Bortles were fighting for their jobs during the preseason, and now they are one win away from adding "starting quarterback in a Super Bowl" to their modest resumes. According to Elias Sports Bureau research, this is the first time that three starting quarterbacks in conference championship games had two or fewer playoff starts since 1999 (Kurt Warner, Shaun King and Steve McNair).

To put that into further perspective, Brady has as many Super Bowl wins (five) as Keenum, Foles and Bortles have playoff starts (five).
