Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who performed the National Anthem?

Answer: Idina Menzel

John Legend performed "America the Beautiful".

2. What incident before the Super Bowl was lingering over the New England Patriots?

Answer: Deflate-Gate

Presumably and/or allegedly, a New England Patriot official had deflated some of the footballs prior to their game against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Conference Championship Game. Spy-Gate took place in 2007, after the Patriots were caught taping opposing team practice sessions.

3. Which team scored first and how?

Answer: New England Patriots (a touchdown pass)

New England scored first, on a touchdown pass in the second quarter. Tom Brady, the quarterback, threw an 11 yard touchdown pass to receiver Brandon LaFell. There were not any fumble recovery touchdowns in the game, and it is impossible for a Super Bowl to end in a tie.

4. How did Seattle score their first points?

Answer: Touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch

They scored on a touchdown run by Marshawn Lynch in the second quarter.

5. Who headlined the performance at halftime?

Answer: Katy Perry

Katy Perry headlined the halftime performance, assisted by Lenny Kravitz. Beyonce did the halftime show for Super Bowl XLVII, and The Who did the halftime show for Super Bowl XLIV.

6. How many points were the Seattle Seahawks up at the beginning of the 4th quarter?

Answer: 10

The Seahawks were up by 10 points, scored by a field goal kicked by Stephen Hauschka and a 3-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin. The lead was 24-14, and set the stage for one of the weirdest endings, if not THE weirdest ending, in Super Bowl history.

7. Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman each caught a touchdown in the 4th quarter.

Answer: True

Danny Amendola caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady, which cut the score to a three-point Seattle lead, and then Julian Edelman caught a 3-yard touchdown pass, which gave New England the lead.

8. What incredible play did Jermaine Kearse, a Seattle Seahawks wide reciever, make late into the 4th quarter?

Answer: A catch on his back

Jermaine Kearse made one of the most incredible plays in Super Bowl history. Going up to make the catch, guarded by Patriot Malcolm Butler, they both missed the pass. However, when Kearse was falling, Butler tripped over him and knocked the ball into Kearse's outstretched hands.

9. Who had an interception in the end zone to end the final drive by Seattle Seahawks?

Answer: Malcolm Butler

Malcolm Bulter. The rookie cornerback picked off Russell Wilson's pass and advance the ball to New England's own 1 yard line. Ricardo Lockette is a wide reciever for the Seattle Seahawks, Richard Sherman is the popular Seahawks cornerback, and Darrell Revis is another cornerback for the New England Patriots.

10. How did Michael Bennett officially end Seattle's Super Bowl hopes?

Answer: Bennett jumped offsides

Michael Bennett, one of Seattle's best defensive players, made a crucial mistake with the game on the line, jumping offsides and giving the Patriots the win.
