Who started 9 games for the Raiders at quarterback in 2013?

The story behind the answer

Terrelle Pryor started 9 games for the Raiders at quarterback in 2013.

Pryor entered the season as Oakland’s starting quarterback after winning the job during training camp. He started eight of the Raiders’ first nine games, missing one contest after suffering a concussion, and later returned to start the season finale against Denver. That gave him nine starts in 11 appearances.

In those starts, Pryor completed 156 of 272 passes for 1,798 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also ran for 576 yards and two touchdowns, including a famous 93-yard touchdown run against the Pittsburgh Steelers—the longest rushing touchdown by a quarterback in NFL history at the time and still a signature moment of his Raiders career.

A common mix-up is assuming Pryor started every Raiders game that season. Rookie Matt McGloin started six games after replacing him, while Matt Flynn started one. Pryor’s nine starts were still the most by any Oakland quarterback in 2013.
