Fernando Mendoza, Carson Beck, Kyle McCord set to make NFL history with first starts, debuts
Pro football is about to witness a rare milestone as three signal-callers prepare for their initial career starts in the same week, pushing the total number of starting quarterbacks across the league to fifty by the tenth week of the campaign. Fernando Mendoza will take his first snap for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Seattle Seahawks, while Carson Beck of the Arizona Cardinals and Kyle McCord of the Miami Dolphins are both slated to make their professional debuts as starters.
This convergence marks only the second instance outside of opening week and the 1987 strike where multiple quarterbacks have debuted as starters simultaneously, and just the third time in thirty seasons that a trio of players has made their inaugural career starts within the exact same week.
