samoth Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 No Googling: 1. Floyd Little and Dick LeBeau - #44 2. Unitas, Starr, and Len Dawson? 3. Dan Marino - 1986? 4. Chris Johnson, Jamal Lewis, OJ Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell 5. 49ers? 6. Drew Brees and Tom Brady 7. Ozzie Newsome, Joe DeLamuiellre (sp) 8. I assume you are referring to playoff games that took place to determine the NFL champion when the Superbowl was created. In that case, Browns and Packers, Packers won both. 9. Bills - OJ 10. Assuming you mean the Superbowl - Browns. Bills, Vikings, Lions, Cardinals 11. Don't know, I'd assume an early one 12. Probably $2500 or less 13. Too much to watch speeches.

ClevelandFanForLife Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 The last one for number 4 is Terrell Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Rich4eagle added these correct answers: #9 the Browns with Jim Brown. Also the Vikings as one of the 5 teams who have waited longest for a title. LNC added these correct answers: #2 Namath and Fouts were 2 of the 3; #5 The Ravens; #6 the other active QB with a 500 yard game was Ben Roeth. #8 the Bears and Giants played in the first NFL playoff games in 1933 and 1934 Clevefanforlife got Terrell Davis as the final 2000 yard runner. So, here is what is missing: #2: the third QB in history to throw for 4000 yards in a season (after Namath and Fouts) #7: there are 3 former Browns who made the All Decade teams who have not been named (Ozzie and Joe D. have) #10: Two other teams who have gone the longest without a title #11: A definitive answer on the coldest SB #12: Marion Motley's salary in 1946. A couple have been in the vicinity. Bonus. Cost of a floor seat for this year's HOF Induction Ceremony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Okay, another shot at #11 would be Superbowl IX. You have the qualifier "at kick off time." I heard this on NFL radio right after the Neyw York SB announcement. They stated that the two coldest superbowls in history were both in New Orleans, VI and IX, and they said VI was the coldest at 39*, so I'm guessing IX started out colder but didn't drop as much as dark approached.
