including this year, have been Quarterbacked by Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger.
Only Rich Gannon and the Raiders in 2002 season and Joe Flacco and the Ravens in 2012 season are the exceptions. Every other year since 2001 has had one of those 3 guys under center.
Also of note....15 of the last 21 AFC champions have been Steelers, Patriots or Broncos.
Ravens 2000 & 2012 Seasons
Colts 2006 & 2009 Seasons
Titans 1999 Season
Raiders 2002 Season.
Otherwise, one of those 3 franchises has represented the AFC.
In a sport set up for parity in every way....that is incredible.
Also....this just in, but true franchise QBs are really hard to find.
