Minshew, Fitzpatrick debate beards vs. mustaches ahead of TNF matchup
Thursday night's matchup will pit the NFL's most distinguishable facial hair against one another when Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Miami Dolphins take on Gardner Minshew and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The trash talk has already begun.
Fitzpatrick and his flowing beard got in the first salvo Tuesday.

"The mustache versus the beard, I mean, I think the beard is a cooler look, and I think guys that grow mustaches a lot of times have patchy sides for their beards, so they just stick with the mustache," Fitzpatrick said.
It didn't take long for Minshew to respond.
"I'll let mine speak for itself ... but I'm gonna have respect for my elders. Especially when they're much, much elder," the Jags quarterback said, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
Let's settle this on the field, fellas.
