How Many Week 1 NFL Quarterbacks are Still Standing?

With Brock Osweiler called in to deliver the Broncos a victory over Indianapolis last night, I started wondering how many teams actually still have their Week 1 quarterback under center right now. Here's a look at the status of all of our Week 1 quarterbacks as we prepare for the rest of Week 15 this weekend. Players no longer starting are highlighted in red, players with injuries who may return are in orange. It's worth noting that no division will have the same four starting quarterbacks every week, the closest being the AFC North where Flacco, Dalton and Roethlisberger have started every game, but DeShone Kizer was benched for one start:

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys - Dak Prescott - Started all 13 games for Dallas
