Notre Dame QB’s continue to struggle in the National Football League.
Facing the white-hot Dolphins with a depleted lineup, the odds were already stacked against Saints rookie quarterback Ian Book when he took the field for his NFL debut on Monday night. It did not work out for him in any form or fashion.
Working against him as well is the fact that former Fighting Irish quarterbacks had lost 23 consecutive NFL starts, according to ESPN Stats & Info. That number is now 24.
The streak dates back to 2012, and stands as the longest such drought since 1950.
That streak began with Brady Quinn in 2012, who then passed his baton to Jimmy Clausen, then it was DeShone Kizer’s turn, who lost 15 starts for the Browns in 2017.
Book finished the game 12-for-20 for 135 yards and two interceptions. He was sacked eight times.
