It was not a good day for Drew Bledsoe or New England, with his three sackings from Mr. White, he also threw four interceptions in the game. Green Bay defeated the Patriots 35-21.

4. Who said to SHIM MY MITT? I didn't play baseball. I installed rockets on my shoes, and was still the only running back even in the first 40 Super Bowls to rush for over 200 yards in the big game. I even did this as a rookie. Who am I?

Answer: Timmy Smith

Smith was a rookie in 1987 with the Redskins, and rushed for only 126 yards in the season without even scoring a touchdown. In Super Bowl XXII against Denver, the rockets were released as Smith rushed for a record 204 yards. The Redskins defeated the Broncos 42-10, but it was an uphill battle. On Denver's first play from scrimmage, John Elway hit Ricky Nattiel with a 56-yard touchdown pass. Four minutes later, Rick Karliss kicked a field goal and Washington was already down 10-0. Quarterback Doug Williams would guide the Redskins back into the game, and by halftime it was Redskins 35, Broncos 10.

The game would end 42-10. In 1988, Timmy Smith rushed for 470 yards, then retired. He came back with Dallas in 1990, rushing for only six yards, then retired for good.

The Cowboys rushed for 252 yards compared to the Dophins' 80. Dallas also compiled 23 first downs to the Dolphins' 10.

Tampa Bay compiled 24 first downs, compared to Oakland's 11 who couldn't move the ball down the field. The five interceptions resulted in 172 yards for Tampa Bay.

7. We would have rather had the newspaper headlines read, "AGNES VOMITS IN INK", instead of us being the first team to lose four Super Bowls. Which team are we?

The Vikings were the first team to lose four Super Bowls, before any other team had lost even three. Minnesota lost IV to Kansas City, VIII to Miami, IX to the Steelers, then XI to the Oakland Raiders. In those four Super Bowls, the Vikings managed only 34 total points.

8. I came from an OLD RANCH DEN, and I brought my "green" leg to Super Bowl II to kick four field goals and help defeat the Oakland Raiders. Who am I?

Cornerback Herb Atterly put the icing on the cake for Green Bay with his 60-yard interception return from Oakland's Daryle Lamonica's arm.

Under head coach Don Shula, quarterback Bob Griese, running back Larry Csonka, and wide receiver Paul Warfield, the Dolphins lost Super Bowl VI to Dallas, then in a perfect 1972 season, won it all over the Redskins. They also won Super Bowl VIII against the Vikings.

10. We would have been better off trying to pluck BASIL OFF BULL, instead of going to four consecutive Super Bowls and losing them all under head coach Marv Levy. Who are we?

Answer: Buffalo Bills

The 1990 decade seemingly belonged to the Bills, but they just couldn't pull off a win in the big game. After their 13-3 season, they lost 20-19 to the Giants in Super Bowl XXV. The following season they went 13-3 again, but lost to the Redskins. Their third consecutive Super Bowl saw them lose to the Cowboys, 52-17.

Their fourth was against the Cowboys again, 30-13, after going 12-4 in the season. Levy coached the Bills from 1986-1997.
