Fitzpatrick, who said that growing a beard was “cooler” than Minshew’s signature mustache, is one of the more senior members in the NFL.
The Jaguars and Dolphins square off this week on Thursday Night Football.
While the Dolphins are sitting at 0-2 on the season, the Jaguars shocked everyone by beating the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1.
Both teams aren’t expected to be playoff contenders this season, but it should still make for a fun matchup on Thursday.
Not only do Minshew and Fitzpatrick have a chance to play for bragging rights on the field, but they also can continue their friendly facial hair rivalry as well.
