Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza will make his first career start on Sunday. Two others will make their debuts, too: Cardinals quarterback Carson Beck and Dolphins quarterback Kyle McCord.

Via NBC Sports research, they’ll become the 48th, 49th, and 50th different quarterbacks to start games during the 2026 season.

It will be only the second time in the last 15 years (excluding the 1987 strike season) during which 50 different quarterbacks have started games in the first 10 weeks of a season.

If, for some reason, another quarterback makes his first start of the season on Sunday (that’s unlikely with Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock not having an injury designation for Sunday), it will be the second-most starters through 10 weeks since 1950.

In 1999, 55 different quarterbacks started games through the first 10 weeks of the season.

Most of the changes have arisen from injury. For the Raiders, the transition to Mendoza happened after Kirk Cousins was traded to the Vikings.
