Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Oakland Raiders

The other teams did not exist in the 1960s. Under the helm of John Madden in nine of those 11 seasons, the Raiders won a Super Bowl and lost one. In this run, Oakland had an amazing team record of 119-28-7. Their Super Bowl loss was at the hands of the Packers, and their win was over the Vikings.

Answer: Randall Cunningham

Cunningham saw 11 seasons with the Eagles before moving to Minnesota. Although he led the league many times in being sacked, he still threw for over 2500 yards in seven seasons. From Minnesota in 1997 to Dallas in 2000, Randall retired in 2001 as a Raven.

Answer: Lawrence Phillips

The others were all kickers. In 1997, Phillips ran for one more yard, 633 in 10 games with the Rams, compared to 632 in 15 games in 1996. The Rams would not renew his contract ane he sat out the 1998 season. He signed with the 49ers for the '99 season, but played in only eight games. That was it for Lawrence's career.

Answer: Cris Carter

Both Allen and Butkus were linebackers, and Moss didn't begin his career until 1998. After spending three seasons in Philadelphia under Buddy Ryan from 1987-1989, Cris took his services to Minnesota, where he won seven Pro Bowl honors. After 16 seasons, Carter retired with 1101 receptions, 130 of those being for touchdowns.

Answer: Alex Karras

The others were all defensive linemen, but never played for the Lions. Karras was a career Lion and played from 1958-1970. He was a tremendous player until the suspension, still played for another seven seasons, but could not regain his old form. After retiring, he became a sports commentator and actor.

Answer: Robert Brooks

The others never played for Green Bay. Brooks, in his fourth season all with the Packers, caught 102 for 1497 yards with 13 touchdowns. Robert had only one other 1000 yard season in 1997. He played his eighth and final season with the Broncos in 2000 before hanging up his cleats. Ironically, Brooks and Sharpe both went to South Carolina.

Answer: Dave Sparks

The others were tight ends. After Sparks' death, the Redskins along with their quarterback Al Dorow, didn't recover quickly either. In their following game, Dorow threw four interceptions and fumbled twice. The team finished the season with a 3-9 record.

8. Which of the following had the nickname of 'Snake'?

Answer: Kenny Stabler

Stabler played for 15 seasons, and 10 of those with the Raiders during their fantastic run from 1967-1977. Kenny quarterbacked the team along with Daryle Lamonica and George Blanda. Three quality QBs on the same team had to result in something positive, and it did. Kenny was a four-time Pro Bowl selection, but wasn't picked in his finest season of 1979. Stabler completed 304 passes for 3615 yards with 22 touchdowns in that season.

After Oakland, he played for the Oilers and Saints, then retired in 1984.

Answer: Jeff Hostetler

The others never played for the Giants. Hostetler was in his fifth season when he had his chance to step up. Because of his performance, new coach Ray Handley made Jeff his number one quarterback for the '91 season. The Giants went 8-8 and Hostetler took the blame for the season. In 1993, Jeff became a Raider, then retired in 1997 as a Washington Redskin.

10. Which quarterback was the first in AFL history to throw for over 4000 yards in a season, and later retired as a Los Angeles Ram?

Answer: Joe Namath

Broadway Joe was only in his third season. As a New York Jet from 1965-1976, he threw for 4007 yards with 26 touchdowns in the 1967 season. He also threw 28 interceptions. His receivers were Don Maynard and George Sauer who combined for 146 catches, then his running backs combined for another 77, with Bob Mathis hauling in 25.

The Jets finished the '67 season 8-5-1, and didn't make the postseason. Namath retired in 1977 in a Rams uniform, his only non-Jet season.
