Raiders vs Titans features rare battle of quarterbacks 3-0 against the opposing team

I’m sure this has got to have happened at some point, but if so it’s got to be incredibly rare. Sunday the Titans come to Oakland with each quarterback having the same undefeated record against the opposing team.

Raiders QB Derek Carr is 3-0 against the Titans in his career. Titans QB Ryan Tannehill is 3-0 against the Raiders.

That’s kinda crazy.

How is this possible? Well, all of Tannehill’s wins over the Raiders came as the starting quarterback for the Dolphins. Carr has won each of his meetings with the Titans, but they all came with Marcus Mariota at quarterback. While all of Tannehill’s wins came against a Carr-led Raiders team.

Mariota started the season for the Titans but was benched week six in favor of Tannehill. The Titans were 2-4 at that point. They’ve gone 5-1 since Tannehill stepped in as the starter. And since these teams are facing off against players and not uniforms, it would seem Tannehill’s record vs the Raiders with Carr at QB and his record this season since taking over as the starter would probably be the ones that carry the most significance.

Regardless, something’s got to give. One of these QBs’ undefeated records will go down Sunday.
