Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I quarterbacked the Dallas Cowboys from 1960-1968. Ironically, my final season was almost my greatest, throwing for 2500 yards with 21 touchdowns. Who am I?

Answer: Don Meredith

The others were Dallas QBs, but came after 'Dandy Don'. Merideth never went to a Super Bowl in his career, although the Cowboys did have the talent on their roster. From the air they had the likes of Bob Hayes and Lance Rentzel, then Dan Reeves and Don Perkins from the ground. Craig Morton took over the QB duties for the Cowboys in 1969.

Answer: Joe Gibbs

Gibbs of the Washington Redskins, took the team to Super Bowl XVII with a victory against the Dolphins. They lost to the Raiders in XVIII. After finishing 11-4 in 1987, Jay Schroeder helped the team to a win in Super Bowl XXII against the Broncos. Gibbs' third win came against the Bills.

3. The famous "ABC's Monday Night Football" began in which year?

Answer: 1970

It began with the great Howard Cossell, Don Merideth, and Keith Jackson. Jackson didn't last, and was replaced by a seven-time Pro Bowl running back from the Giants, Frank Gifford, in 1971.

Answer: Otis Armstrong

The others were all defensive backs. From 1977-1980, Armstong's rushing attempts were cut in half. Although he kept up with near four yards per carry, he didn't have the big season totals. Otis had 25 rushing touchdowns and seven from the air.

Answer: Bronko Nagurski

Those runs in the season finale was the only time that Nagurski carried the ball in the entire 1943 season. The Bears went on to win the NFL Championship game over the Redskins, 41-21.

6. Which team in 1977 set a record for fewest points allowed in a season with 129?

Answer: Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons didn't receive much credit for it as they finished the season with a 7-7 record. All but one loss was by less than seven points. Leeman Bennett with a defensive mind, head coached the Falcons in the season.

Answer: Mel Gray

The others were all kickers. After three seasons with the Saints, Mel found himself as a Lion from 1989-1994. His final two seasons were with Houston and retired in 1996. Officially listed as a running back, Gray carried the ball only 19 times in his career.

Answer: Eric Dickerson

Answer: John Huarte

The others played in the 1950s. Huarte was insurance for the Jets because of the Namath already known bad knees. Namath blossomed, and Huarte was traded to the Boston Patriots in 1966 where he played in 14 games. His remaining five seasons saw him play in only 10 games total. He retired in 1972 as a Bear.
