Damon Huard with the Dolphins recently held this distinction, filling in for Marino and beating the 1999 4-1 Patriots 31-30 after throwing for 240 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT.
Defenses will likely feast on these suspect offensive lines and both QBs will probably end up on their back at least a couple of times. Expect Harold Landry and Bud Dupree to have a big game for the Titans. Normally the Bengals would have Trey Hendrickson as their leading pass rusher but after sustaining a concussion this week the pressure may need to come from other sources.
Whichever team's offensive line steps up could be the difference.

Len Dawson still won the 1966 AFL Championship beating the Bills 31-7.
Warren Moon lost a close game to the Chiefs in the 1994 Divisional losing 28-20.
Per SIS, Jerry Hughes finished 9th amongst Edge Defenders/Defensive Tackles in pressure rate (minimum of 250 pass rushes). Despite this he finished with only 1.5 sacks.
Part of this is explained by our heavy rotation, leading to Hughes having far fewer attempts than many other players around the league, but certainly not all of it.
Hughes had 42 pressures on the season, which lead to 1.5 sacks.
Robert Quinn had 42 pressures on the season, which lead to 16.5 sacks.
The only DE in the league that had more pressures than him that finished with less than 6 sacks was Frank Clark, who had 1 more pressure (43) with 4.5 sacks.
Nick Bosa and Hughes finished within 0.2% of each other in pressure rate. Bosa averaged a sack every 4.3 pressures, Hughes averaged a sack every 28 pressures.
Edit: I just realized these numbers aren’t updated for Week 18, but general point still stands.
Should also note that SIS splits up 3-4 OLBs into a different category, so Hughes likely comes out closer to 15th in pressure rate if you include some of those guys.
Bend, don’t break.

Some players look like they've put on Weight to be fit and build up but some players look very overweight why is that ? And why has the team allowed them to be like this , they clearly don't look fit?

Too late to make a serious DPOY push but Donald has been the best defensive player in the league in the back half of this year. A lock to get his 6th all pro which is 4 off the record.
