Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following teams did Green Bay not face in the 1996 postseason?

Answer: Dallas Cowboys

Green Bay took apart the other three, but never got a chance at revenge against the Cowboys, who beat Green Bay seven times in a row. However those seven all came at Texas Stadium. They would play at Lambeau Field the following season, where Green Bay defeated them 45-17.

2. Which of the following Packers' receivers did not suffer an injury that caused him to miss at least two games?

Answer: Andre Rison

Despite having lost Brooks and Freeman, Favre was still able to guide the Packers to three wins and two losses (one was by seven to Kansas City), before they signed Rison to fill in for Brooks. From there, the Packers passing attack was unstoppable.

3. On a Monday Night game against the 49ers, Chris Jacke won the game after hitting a 53-yard field goal in overtime. However, overtime would not have been necessary had Jacke *not* done what?

Answer: Missed a PAT

Jacke missed a PAT, but made up for it with his rocket of a FG. Had Green Bay lost this game, the 49ers would have had home field advantage throughout the playoffs. In a side note, Steve Young did not play in this game.

4. Who was the Packers' defensive co-ordinator in 1996?

Answer: Fritz Shurmer

The late Fritz led the Packers to an incredible defensive season, where they were the top unit in the NFL statistically.

5. Which of the following players did not start on the defensive line in the season?

Answer: Gabe Wilkins

Spearheaded by the late great Reggie White, this defensive line was far too much for almost every offensive line. Wilkins would gain a starting role the following season after Sean Jones retired.

6. Against which team did the Packers score on offense, defense, and special teams?

Answer: San Diego Chargers

Brett Favre threw two touchdowns, Desmond Howard brought a punt back for a touchdown, and the defense brought an interception back for six.

7. Where did Super Bowl XXXI occur?

Answer: New Orleans

The Packers won the Super Bowl in the New Orleans Superdome. This dispells any claims that Brett Favre could not perform in domes.

8. Who was the first team to defeat the Packers in the season?

Answer: Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings beat them by nine at the Metrodome in week four.

9. The Packers avoided having to face several Hall of Fame worthy QBs during this season, due to either recent retirement or injury. Which of the following could they not avoid?

Answer: Troy Aikman

The Packers avoided Young not only in the regular season, but also the playoffs (and won both games). Montana had just recently retired from the Chiefs, and Elway missed a big game at Lambeau Field, which Green Bay won 41-6.

Aikman and the Cowboys beat a depleted Packers 21-6, where Chris Boniol converted 7 field goals.

10. Which running back was used mostly as a special team player, and was named to the Pro Bowl as a special team player a couple of seasons later?

Answer: Travis Jervey

Jervey had lightning speed, but most experts felt he had poor vision. However, with his tackling abilities, he excelled at special teams.
