Question 1 of 10
1. The year was 1967. The first Super Bowl. AFL vs NFL. The mighty Green Bay Packers trounced which team by 25 points? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Only once in the 20th century did a Super Bowl team fail to score a touchdown. What was that team? Hint


Question 3 of 10
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? Hint


Question 4 of 10
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? Hint


Question 5 of 10
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? Hint


Question 6 of 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? Hint


Question 7 of 10
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? Hint


Question 8 of 10
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? Hint


Question 9 of 10
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? Hint


Question 10 of 10
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? Hint

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?

Answer: Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City held tough until halftime. They went into the locker room trailing 14-10. But, the Packers had too much for them. They outscored the Chiefs 21-0 in the second half.
2. Only once in the 20th century did a Super Bowl team fail to score a touchdown. What was that team?

Answer: Miami Dolphins

Super Bowl VI against the Dallas Cowboys was the game in question. Miami had the worst of days offensively. They managed only 185 yards of total offense and only had 10 first downs. Dallas, on the other hand, ran for more than 250 yards alone. Dallas won 24-3.
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?

Answer: Los Angeles Raiders

The Raiders were not impressed nor were they afraid of Washington. LA put up a then record 38 points and won the game by a then-record 29 points.
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?

Answer: New England Patriots

The Patriots were out of their league from the get go. They finished third in their own division and snuck into the playoffs. Three improbable wins later, they found themselves up against a team that went 15-1 and thumped their two playoff opponents by a combined 45-0.

These two teams being matched up is the stuff Hollywood dreams of, but on that fateful day, the Patriots quickly learned their place. The Bears thoroughly dominated them bell to bell.
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?

Answer: Denver Broncos

Led by John Elway, Denver jumped on top 7-0 after a bomb to receiver Ricky Nattiel. A field goal followed soon after and Denver had a comfortable lead, or so they thought. The second quarter brought nothing but misery and heartbreak for Elway and his Broncos. Washington scored 35 unanswered points and put on the cruise control and sailed to an easy championship.
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?

Answer: San Francisco 49ers

Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, and Brent Jones. That was just on the offensive side of the ball, people. This team would chew you up, spit you out, and do it again just because they could. That is exactly what they did to Denver that season and whipped them 55-10.

Poor, poor John Elway. 0-3 in the Super Bowl at that point and the combined scores added up to 136-40.
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?

Answer: Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills. Great, great, great regular season team. Dropped the ball yet again in the Super Bowl that year against Dallas. That would be their third loss in a row. Soon to be their fourth in a row. At least they got there, though.
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?

Answer: San Diego Chargers

The Chargers started the 1994 season 6-0 and used that to win the less-than-stellar AFC West. They won their two AFC playoff games by close calls. A close call wasn't going to cut it in this Super Bowl. the 49ers, led by Steve Young, blew them out of the water 49-26.
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?

Answer: Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens manhandled the Giants in pretty much every aspect of the game. More first downs, more passing yards, more rushing yards, bigger time of possession, and they forced the Giants to turn the ball over five times. Oh, and they dominated the scoring, 34-7.
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?

Answer: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs entered Super Bowl XXXV with a bone-crushing defense. Opposing offenses dreaded playing Tampa because of this. The Raiders, however, dreaded playing them for another reason. Not only was Tampa's defense that good, but the Bucs also had the Raiders' head coach from the previous season. John Gruden left Oakland for Tampa and it was Gruden who designed the Raiders' offense. So, not only did Tampa have the best defense, but they knew exactly what Oakland was going to call.

The Raiders didn't have a prayer that day and Tampa Bay beat them 48-21.
