Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the first head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowls with three different starting quarterbacks?

Answer: Joe Gibbs

Gibbs' Redskins won Super Bowl XVII with Joe Thiesmann, Super Bowl XXII with Doug Williams and Super Bowl XXVI with Mark Rypien.

2. Who was the first head coach to lead his team(s) to six Super Bowl appearances?

Answer: Don Shula

Shula coached teams appeared in six Super bowls. The Colts in Super Bowl III, and the Dolphins in Super Bowls VI, VII, VIII, XVII and XIX. Landry took the Cowboys to five Super Bowls, Noll took the Steelers to four and Walsh took the 49ers to three.

3. The Miami Dolphins were the first team to lose a Super Bowl and then win it the following year?

Answer: False

The Dolphins did lose Super Bowl VI and then win Super Bowl VII. However, the team that beat them in Super Bowl VI, the Dallas Cowboys, had lost Super Bowl V to the Baltimore Colts.

4. What Oakland Raider linebacker intercepted three passes against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XV, but was not named the game's MVP?

Answer: Rod Martin

Martin didn't have a stand-out career but he sure stood out in this game! Lester Hayes was a cornerback.

5. Who was the MVP of Super Bowl XV?

Answer: Jim Plunkett

After several unimpressive seasons with the Patriots and 49ers, Plunkett finally got his act together.

6. Which of the following players was NOT a Super Bowl MVP?

Answer: Bob Griese

Though Griese started for the Dolphins in Super Bowls VII and VIII, he was MVP of neither. Scott was MVP of Super Bowl VII, Biletnikoff was MVP of Super Bowl XI and Howard was MVP of Super Bowl XXXI.

7. What running back rushed for 204 yards in Super Bowl XXII but was not named the game's MVP?

Answer: Timmy Smith

Smith was a rookie and was playing in place of regular starter Rogers. The Skins had many outstanding performers that day during their 42-10 trouncing of the Denver Broncos.

8. Who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXII?

Answer: Doug Williams

Like Plunkett, Williams had had an unstable career until winning the big one. Williams was also the first African-American to start at quarterback in a Super Bowl.

9. Before being stomped by the Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII the Raiders had lost how many Super Bowls?

Answer: 1

The Raiders seem to have bad luck against the "Bay" teams. Their previous Super Bowl loss came against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl II.

10. The Cowboys tight end _________ dropped a "sure touchdown" at a crucial time during the team's 35-31 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XIII?

Answer: Jackie Smith

Poor guy. On the bright side, however, Smith became the third tight end inducted to the NFL Hall of Fame in 1994.
