Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Tom Mack

The others listed were all defensive backs. Mack protected such greats as Roman Gabriel, Bill Munson, John Hadl, James Harris, and even Joe Namath. Tom never went to a Super Bowl, and the Dallas Cowboys squelched his chances four times.

Answer: Jerry Kramer

The others were all linebackers. On the other side of Kramer's blocking was the rebounding of Dallas Cowboy Jethro Pugh. From 1958-1968, Kramer blocked for his Bart Starr in his entire career. No block was more important than the infamous block in this 1967 game. The Packers won the NFC game 21-17, then went on to defeat the Raiders 33-14 in the Super Bowl.

Answer: John Havlicek

Havlicek was one of those multi-talented sports players, and out of Ohio State, he played in only one NFL exhibition game. Danny Ainge played baseball and basketball. Havlicek played his entire NBA career with the Boston Celtics from 1963-1978. John was a 13-season all-star with the hoops side of the house, and a NBA Hall of Fame inductee in 1983.

Answer: Brian Bosworth

Bosworth began in the NFL on a sour note. He fought the NFL to keep his number from college, but the league would not budge and made him wear the number 55 in the NFL. He carried too much baggage because of his off-field profiles that did not match his on-field performances. In 1989, a shoulder injury to Brian finished his career.

5. The first receiver to catch 80 passes in a season, this sure-handed player caught 84 in 1950 with the Rams. Who was it?

Answer: Tom Fears

The others listed made their name with their feet as they were all kickers. Tom was a wide receiver his entire career with the Rams from 1948-1956. When he caught 84 in 1950, he led the league for the third consecutive season. He caught most of his passes from the great Norm VanBrocklin and Bob Waterfield.

6. In 1966, the CBS Network was the NFL's network, and the NBC Network carried AFC games. Which network televised the first Super Bowl at the end of that season?

Answer: Both CBS and NBC

It was by a violent act by both networks, threatening lawsuits by each, that the NBC in the end claimed that CBS had a monopoly. Thus, the agreement was that both networks air the first Super Bowl.

Answer: Gale Sayers

Gale still rushed for a 1032 yards in 1969 to lead the league, but that was it for him. Playing in only two games in the 1970 and 1971 seasons, Sayers' career was over. He had 47 touchdowns in only seven seasons of his career. He was later a Hall of Fame inductee.

Answer: Brian and Bennie Blades

The others were not brothers in the NFL. Brian played his entire 11-season career with the Seahawks. Bennie played his first nine seasons with the Detroit Lions, then in his last in 1997, was reunited with his brother. Brian retired in 1998.

Answer: Deion Sanders

Sanders had just come from the San Francisco 49ers after the 1995 season. For Dallas in 1996, Deion, nicknamed 'Prime Time', caught 36 passes.

Answer: Tommy Nobis

The others listed were quarterbacks. Tommy played for the Falcons from 1966-1976. During Nobis' reign in those 11 seasons, Atlanta never saw even one postseason game. Tommy played in five Pro Bowls.
