In 1993, he left a Dolphins game versus the New York Giants battered and bloodied after taking a helmet to the chin, only to return to the game following halftime.

Also the oldest QB to ever start a game. Filled in for Chris Chandler in 1998 at the age of 44. Stayed on as the backup and the Falcons went to the Super Bowl that year, and became the oldest player to ever be on a Super Bowl team at age of 45.
1977-1998. He's a goddamn man
