Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Super Bowl I: Max Mcgee caught two touchdown passes from the MVP of the first ever Super Bowl, won 35-14 by the Green Bay Packers over the Kansas City Chiefs. He was not supposed to play. Whom did he have to replace?

Answer: Boyd Dowler

Boyd Dowler, who was an all pro, broke his arm in the game and Max who was a veteran did not expect to play much. He had gone out the night before and he claimed that he was "hung over" and did not want Vince Lombardi to know that. He made an amazing catch for a touchdown and the night before became a moot point.
2. Super Bowl II: The Raiders had a lead in their 33-14 defeat to the Green Bay Packers in the second clash between the AFL and NFL.

Answer: False

Green Bay jumped out to a 13-0 lead before Oakland got on the board and even led 33-7 before the Raiders scored a late touchdown to make the score look closer. Vince Lombardi retired from the Packers after this game.
3. Super Bowl III: Where was the third Super Bowl played?

Answer: Miami

Known as the infamous "guarantee" game by "Broadway" Joe Namath, the Jets outlasted the Colts, who many people thought were very superior. Joe Namath ended up with MVP honors but did not throw a touchdown. Interestingly, Super Bowl II was also in Miami giving it back to back huge stages. The AFL finally showed that it could play with the NFL.
4. Super Bowl IV: Who was in trouble for gambling allegations before the big game?

Answer: Len Dawson

There was a federal investigation into Len Dawson but he was cleared of all charges as his AFL Kansas City Chiefs upset the again heavily favored participant from the NFC, the Minnesota Vikings, 23-7. His name has been linked to a "Donald Dawson" (no relation) who had $400,000 and Len's telephone number.
5. Super Bowl V: Which of the following is NOT true of this game?

Answer: There were no turnovers

Super Bowl V is known as the "blooper bowl" because there were so many turnovers back and forth and it was a sloppily played game. In fact, there were 10 turnovers and 6 by the winning Baltimore Colts over the Dallas Cowboys, 16-13. After two AFL Super Bowl wins, the leagues merged and the Colts, Browns, and Steelers went to the AFC to balance out the league. Chuck Howley from Dallas was the MVP.
6. Super Bowl VI: How many points did the Miami Dolphins score in their first Super Bowl appearance?

Answer: 3

This set a new record for the lowest score in Super Bowl history, as the Dallas Cowboys took out the Dolphins 24-3. It was almost 31-3 but the Cowboys fumbled late on the goal line.
7. Super Bowl VII: What would the score have been if Garo Yepremian had kicked the field goal that he botched, leading to a Redskins score?

Answer: 17-0

The Miami Dolphins capped off an undefeated season by beating the Washington Redskins 14-7 and were Super Bowl champions. If he had made that field goal, they could have had the same score as their record. However, they still won and were unbeaten.
8. Super Bowl VIII: Who was the MVP of this Super Bowl?

Answer: Larry Csonka

The Miami Dolphins joined the Green Bay Packers as the first team with back to back "Super bowl" victories as they disposed of a good Minnesota Vikings team, 24-7. Czonka, at the time, took over the "Super Bowl" rushing record with 145 yards on 33 carriers. This game took place at Rice Stadium in Houston.
9. Super Bowl IX: There was a safety scored in this game.

Answer: True

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their first Super Bowl over the Minnesota Vikings 16-6. The Steelers were winning the game at halftime, 2-0. The Vikings did score a touchdown but failed to convert their extra point. The Steelers added two touchdowns.
10. Super Bowl X: Who was the MVP of Super Bowl X?

Answer: Lynn Swann

In one of the better Super Bowl's to date, the Steelers outlasted the Cowboys, 21-17. Lynn Swann, one of their better receivers made an outstanding catch knocking the ball that Terry Bradshaw threw from his own end zone to mid field up into the air and then coming down with it. It is still widely showed on highlight packages today.
11. Super Bowl XI:Who was the coach of the Oakland Raiders when they played the Minnesota Vikings in the big game?

Answer: John Madden

John Madden was a successful Raiders coach for years but he only won one Super Bowl, 32-14 over the Vikings who had the dubious distinction of going 0-4 in Super Bowls. The MVP was Fred Biletnikoff from Oakland.
12. Super Bowl XII: Who was the quarterback for Denver in their first Super Bowl appearance?

Answer: Craig Morton

The Dallas Cowboys returned to the Super Bowl and defeated the Denver Broncos and their "Orange Crush" defense, 27-10. This was the first Super Bowl played indoors and it had two co-MVPs: Harvey Martin and Randy White (both Dallas).
13. Super Bowl XIII: Where was this game held?

Answer: Miami

The Steelers and Cowboys met again in the first Super Bowl repeat and again won, 35-31 in a great game. Interestingly enough, both of these games were played in Miami. Terry Bradshaw got his first Super Bowl MVP.
14. Super Bowl XIV: What was the situation after three quarters of play?

Answer: The Rams led in a close game

Super Bowl XIV was an exciting back and forth game with the end result of the Steelers beating the LA Rams 31-19. However, the Rams were up 19-17 after three quarters of play.
15. Super Bowl XV: The wildcard team made their first Super Bowl but just came up short.

Answer: False

16. Super Bowl XVI: Roger Craig scored the winning touchdown in this tight Super Bowl.

Answer: False

Roger Craig was not yet a member of the San Francisco 49ers but with Joe Montana at quarterback, the 49ers outlasted the Cincinnati Bengals, 26-20. Who was the MVP you may ask? ... Joe Montana.
17. Super Bowl XVII: Who was the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins in this game?

Answer: David Woodley

The Washington Redskins avenged a loss 10 years prior in the Super Bowl to the Miami Dolphins with a 27-17 win. David Woodley is an afterthought for most people but he brought the Dolphins to the Super Bowl before Marino. John Riggins broke the SB rushing record in this game.
18. Super Bowl XVIII: Who was the MVP of this Super Bowl?

Answer: Marcus Allen

One year after John Riggins broke the Super Bowl record for rushing yards, it was broken again by Marcus Allen with 191 yards punctuated with a long run for a touchdown which helped the LA Raiders defeat the Washington Redskins 38-9.
19. Super Bowl XIX: Where was this Super Bowl held?

Answer: Stanford Stadium

All of the following cities have hosted Super Bowls numerous times except for Stanford who hosted their lone one. Joe Montana out dueled Dan Marino 38-16 in a season in which Marino threw 48 touchdowns. It was as close to a "home game" as San Francisco could get.
20. Super Bowl XX: How many points did the Bears give up in this game?

Answer: 10

The New England Patriots were the first team to win three road games to get to the playoffs but that was not enough against a dominant Chicago Bears team, which won easily 46-10. That was also the most points that they gave up in the whole playoffs.
21. Super Bowl XXI: Phil Simms threw 25 passes in this game. How many were completed?

Answer: 22

Phil Simms of the New York Giants earned MVP honors by going 22 for 25 for 268 yards in an almost flawless Super Bowl defeating the Denver Broncos 39-20. The Broncos actually led 10-9 at halftime.
22. Super Bowl XXII: Where was this Super Bowl played?

Answer: San Diego

Doug Williams made history by being the first African-American quarter-back in the Super Bowl as he and the Washington Redskins routed the Denver Broncos, 42-10. Timmy Smith, a rookie ran for 204 yards but still took a back seat to Williams who turned a 10-0 first quarter deficit into a 35-10 halftime lead.
23. Super Bowl XXIII: Jerry Rice caught the winning touchdown in this game that came down to the wire.

Answer: False

Jerry Rice was named MVP but it was John Taylor who caught the winning score from Joe Montana as they outlasted the Bengals 20-16. Jerry Rice had 11 catches for 215 yards.
24. Super Bowl XXIV: How many Super Bowls did the 49ers claim when they won this game?

Answer: 4

The San Francisco 49ers destroyed the Denver Broncos 55-10 in the Louisiana Superdome. Joe Montana won his third MVP and the 49ers ran their Super Bowl record to 4-0.
25. Super Bowl XXV: Who had the highest rushing total in this Super Bowl?

Answer: Thurman Thomas

January 27, 1991 -- Tampa Stadium FL
19-20 Buffalo Bills vs. NY Giants (1st Super Bowl decided by one point)

Of course, this is speculation but if Scott Norwood had made the 47 yard field goal for the Bills and instead of losing 20-19 to the Giants and had won, Thurman Thomas looked like he was on to MVP honors. However, OJ Anderson took that home as the Giants won their second Super Bowl (their first was four years earlier January 25, 1987 : 39-20 vs. Denver Broncos at the Rose Bowl in California).
