Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The year was 1967. The first Super Bowl. AFL vs NFL. The mighty Green Bay Packers trounced which team by 25 points?
2. Only once in the 20th century did a Super Bowl team fail to score a touchdown. What was that team?
3. Poor Washington. The Skins had a good team in the 1983-84 season. They were the defending Super Bowl champs for crying out loud. They had just beaten Miami the year prior. Big and bad, lean and mean they were. Except one team didn't get the memo that they were supposed to lose. What team was it that crushed the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII?
4. The Raiders' record for most points and biggest margin of victory would last a mere two years. The Chicago Bears hung 46 points and won by 36 against what team in Super Bowl XX?
5. Usually when a team goes up 10-0 in the first quarter, they win the game. Not this time. Not against the Washington Redskins. What team squandered that 10 point lead and lost Super Bowl XXII 42-10?
6. Third time is the charm, right? John Elway thought so in the days leading up to Super Bowl XXIV. Already 0-2 in the big game, he found himself there again. This time he and Denver were paired up with, quite possibly, the best team ever put together. What team was that?
7. In 1993, the Dallas Cowboys were making their first Super Bowl appearance in 14 years. I suppose they didn't want to waste their opportunity, as a 14-year drought can make any franchise believe it will be a generation before they get the opportunity at greatness again. Dallas scored often and won the game 52-17. Whom did they beat?
8. Super Bowl XXIX is the reason the San Francisco 49ers make another appearance on this quiz. This time they would meet up with an AFC team making their very first Super Bowl appearance. Whom did they thrash?
9. Super Bowl XXXV had the New York Giants as one of the participants. The Giants, at the time, were previously unbeaten in Super Bowl play, beating both the Broncos and the Bills. This time, however, they would get steamrolled by a first time Super Bowl participant. Who was that team?
10. The Oakland Raiders were no strangers to Super Bowls when 2003 came around. Super Bowl XXXVII saw them play a team who had little success in postseason play before that season. In fact, this franchise was synonymous with losing for a very long time. What team was that?
