Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The 1972 Miami Dolphins were the first team in history to have two 1000-yard running backs in a season. Who teamed up with Larry Csonka to reach this milestone?

Answer: Mercury Morris

The others were all big offensive linemen. Csonka rushed for 1117 yards in the season, then Morris finished it out with 991. A couple of days later, a statistician found that Mercury was mistakenly credited with a nine-yard loss, thus, 1000! The Dolphins went 14-0 and took the Super Bowl win against the Redskins.

2. Which New Jersey Generals running back set a pro football record when he rushed for 2411 yards in 1985, then was a Dallas Cowboy the following season?

Answer: Herschel Walker

The others were running backs, but never played for the Cowboys. A feat probably never to be duplicated in any professional league, Herschel was then scooped up by the Cowboys the next season. He was a Cowboy from 1986-1989. He rushed for almost 3400 yards with over 1200 receiving yards in those four seasons. From there, he played with the Vikings, Eagles, and Giants.

He retired as a Cowboy in 1997.

3. An original AFL coach, he won the last Super Bowl before the merger in 1970. Who was this Kansas City Chief head coach who also was a Saints coach?

Answer: Hank Stram

Dallas Texans, Kansas City Chiefs, and New Orleans Saints, Stram saw it all. Hank's 1969 Chiefs, led by Len Dawson, went 11-3 in the season, enroute to defeating the Vikings in the Super Bowl, 23-7.

Answer: Marv Fleming

The others were all quarterbacks. Fleming played from 1963-1974. His entire career was split between Green Bay and Miami. With the Packers in 1966, Marv teamed up with Carroll Dale, Boyd Dowler, and Max McGee, to make some tremendous targets for the great QB Bart Starr. Their running backs were Paul Hornung, Elijah Pitts, and Jim Taylor.

Answer: Randall Cunningham

The others were all kickers and not quarterbacks. Cunningham played from 1985-1995 with the Eagles, and then retired. He came out of retirement as a Viking in 1997. In 1998, his touchdown/interception ratio was an amazing 34-10. He also threw for over 3700 yards in the 1998 season. He retired for the final time in 2001.

Answer: George Blanda

Blanda did it twice with the Houston Oilers. He threw 42 in 1962, then added 30 in 1965. Although with his 42 in '62, George somehow still made the Pro Bowl. Following the 1965 season, he found himself in a Raider uniform for nine seasons. He never threw more than six in a season again. George retired in 1975 after an exhausting 27 seasons.

Answer: Neil Lomax

The others were running backs and never played for the Cardinals. Neil's career spanned from 1981-1988. In 1983, he blossomed into 2636 yards with a TD/Int ratio of 24-11. 1984 was even better, throwing for 4614 yards with a 28-16 ratio. He retired with arming 136 touchdowns along with 10 rushing TDs via his legs.

8. From 1983-1986, this career Bengal wide receiver caught over 60 passes in this stretch, along with receiving over 1000 yards each season except one. Who was this eight-season Bengal?

Answer: Cris Collinsworth

The others were linebackers. From 1981-1988, Collinsworth caught a team record 417 passes for over 6000 yards. He also crossed the goal line 36 times. The balls came from Ken Anderson and Boomer Esiason.

Answer: Steve Bartkowski

The others never played for the Falcons. In 12 seasons, Bartkowski made the Pro Bowl only two times, but not in 1983 when he threw for 3167 yards with a TD/Int ratio of 22-5. He retired in his final season as a Ram.

Answer: Ricky Bell

The others were all tight ends, and none played for the Falcons. Bell's career was short. His sixth and final season was as a Charger in 1982, where he ran the ball for only six yards in the season.
