This week’s Thursday Night Football game features two thoroughly average quarterbacks with decidedly not-average facial hair. Not only is the matchup an intra-state rivalry between the Dolphins and Jaguars, it pits beard vs. mustache in the form of quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick and Gardner Minshew.
Fitzpatrick has been sporting a beard of various lengths since his days in Buffalo a decade ago but he’s really let it flourish in the past couple of years with the Dolphins. It’s always been as thick as carpeting but now it’s bushy enough that it extends down nearly to his chest.
