SF 49ers, off the top of my head I'd say 1950s era, and I can name Joe Perry and YA Tittle but don't have the other two names in my memory. That was a bit before my time.

Don Coryell's offense still has variations today.

1. What team fielded the “million dollar backfield?”
Bonus points if you can name them. 49ers in the 50s. Don't know the RBs, but Y.A. Tittle was the QB

2. Where would you book seats for “Air Coryell?” San Diego

3. Who was the famed Hall of Famer and dynamic running back/
receiver before CMC? Chuck Foreman? Thurman Thomas?

4. Josh Allen recently passed for 3 TDs and ran for 3 more against the Rams. Who is the only other QB to do that?
Bonus points for the team and what year. I though they said on ESPN that he was the only one. I know Cordell Stewart had 3 & 2. I remember it being talked about during his brief stint with the Bears

5. Jim Brown or Barry Sanders? Greatest running back? 1 and 1A? Your choice and please explain why.
Sanders, because it was a more modern era with bigger, faster, stronger defensive players. Playing by your rules, but I actually think Walter Payton was the best RB ever.

6. Who were the Fearsome Foursome?
Bonus points for their names. Rams D Line. Rosie Grier, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones. I forget the 4th.


7. Who holds the NFL single game rushing record?
Bonus Points for whose record he broke. Adrian Peterson. He broke Jamal Lewus' record. I was tuned into this record because Walter once held the record.

8. What was the name of the NFL championship game before it was called the “Super Bowl?” Hmmm. I thought it was just called the NFL Championship Game

9. What was the first game, in 1967, between the American Football League Champions and the National Football League Champions called? AFL-NFL World Championship

10. The Cleveland Browns won the NFL “Title Game” in 1954. What conference were they in before that? AAFC? *All American Football Conference)

10. What QB has won the most Super Bowls? Brady
Bonus points for how many and with what teams?

12. Brady or Belichick? Explain why. Brady. Because he did it in different offensive systems, with different casts, and with a different team.

13. What’s often called the “Greatest Game Ever Played? The sudden death championshio game between (I think) the Colts & Giants?
