Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. After having a road record of 8-0 in 2001, the Rams had a dismal 1-7 road record in 2002. Who was the only team that the Rams beat on the road?

Answer: Arizona Cardinals

The Rams, who play their home games in a dome, played all their road games outside in 2002, winning the only one at Sun Devil Stadium in Arizona in week 9.

Answer: Chris Hetherington

If they were in St. Louis, it would have made sense to go for it, but with the Rams not being used to the loud Broncos fans, they were unable to convert on fourth down, causing Rams fans to question Mike Martz's play calling. Plus, why would you throw to a guy who's playing in his first regular season game as a Ram on such a crucial play?

Answer: Warner threw an interception

Grant Wistrom intercepted a pass from Kerry Collins with a little more than a minute left in the Rams-Giants game in 2001. That interception sealed a 15-14 victory for the Rams. But this time, the Giants came out on top 26-21, after a William Peterson interception.

4. The Rams' first lead of the 2002 season came against what team?

Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Rams took a 7-3 lead over the Bucs in the first quarter of that game, their third of the season, on a touchdown run by Marshall Faulk. But the Rams lost that game, 26-14.

5. Kurt Warner suffered a hand injury in the game against Dallas in week 4. Which finger was broken?

Answer: Little finger

Warner suffered a broken pinky that kept him out for about 6 weeks.

Answer: Oakland Raiders

No NFL team has started off 0-5 and then made the playoffs in the 20th century. The Rams shocked everyone with a 28-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders at the Edward Jones Dome. Oakland went on to tie Tennessee, for the best record in the AFC in 2002.

Answer: 6

6 of the 7 Rams wins came when Bulger started at QB. His best game was against San Diego in St. Louis, when he completed 36 of 48 passes and led the Rams in an astounding 4th quarter comeback to beat the Chargers 28-24 in week 10.

Answer: Travis Fisher

Despite such a beautiful pass play, the Seahawks did not score a touchdown. The drive ended only 3 plays later with Kim Herring intercepting a Seahawk pass in the end zone. The momentum shifted the Rams' way after that, and the Rams dominated the rest of the game.

Answer: Himself

Martz blamed himself for making a bad play call at a crucial stage of the game. Warner just returned from his injury, and he didn't look too good against the 'Skins, but Martz didn't blame him, the QB coach, or the offensive line.

Answer: 8

With injuries to Tom Nutten and Orlando Pace, and with the inexperience of offensive tackle John St. Clair, the Philadelphia Eagles sacked Kurt Warner 8 times, the most he's ever been sacked in one game. 4 of those 8 sacks were recorded by Eagles DE N.D. Kalu, who was named NFL Defensive Player of the Week.

Answer: 1 punt, 1 kickoff

Hall returned a kickoff 88 yards after a Rams field goal by Jeff Wilkins, and he returned a Mitch Berger punt 86 yards in the second quarter, of the game at Arrowhead Stadium.

12. Which Rams player won Player of the Week after the Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals?

Answer: Jeff Wilkins

While Marc Bulger had a good game filling in for the injured Kurt Warner and Jamie Martin, it was kicker Jeff Wilkins that won player of the week after kicking a game-winning field goal with seconds remaining. His field goal accuracy was quite poor in the early part of the season because he did not wear a shoe on his kicking foot.

However, he came through this time with a 26-yard field goal to give the Rams a 30-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

13. Special teams were another area that performed poorly for the Rams in 2002. The Rams had only 2 returns for touchdowns all season. Who made both of those returns for TDs?

Answer: Dre Bly

Bly returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown against Arizona, and he returned a fumble recovery 21 yards for a touchdown, against San Francisco in the last game of the season.

14. The Rams capped off their season with a surprising 31-20 win over the NFC West champions, San Francisco 49ers. Of those 31 points, how many of them were scored prior to the 4th quarter?

Answer: 3

The Rams came alive in the 4th quarter scoring 4 touchdowns, including a fumble recovery for a TD by Dre Bly, and the last was a 31-yard TD catch by Ernie Conwell, when the Rams went for it on 4th and 1. Despite losing this last game of the season, San Francisco still ran away with first place in the NFC West, and the Rams finished 7-9, their worst record since they went 4-12 in 1998.

15. The Rams finished in last place in their division in 2002?

Answer: false

The Rams tied the Seahawks for second place at 7-9, and Arizona finished last at 4-12.
