Week 7 Dolphins–Browns Features First Lefty QB Duel Since 2006

ProFootballTalk’s research verified the league’s 19-year gap between left-handed starting quarterback matchups.

Overview

  • Miami visits Cleveland in Week 7 with Tua Tagovailoa and Dillon Gabriel set to start at quarterback.
  • Both teams enter the game at 1-5 as each seeks a second win.
  • The previous all-lefty starting matchup was Michael Vick vs. Chris Simms on September 17, 2006.
  • NBC Sports/ProFootballTalk confirmed there have been no other lefty-versus-lefty starts since that 2006 game.
  • There are three left-handed quarterbacks in the NFL—Tagovailoa, Gabriel and the Falcons’ Michael Penix Jr.—and Week 8 is expected to bring another lefty duel when Tagovailoa faces Penix in Atlanta.
