The Gipper Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have laid off the trivia for quite some time, but now that the Browns are playing a team that they see only once every 4 years, I thought I would bring out a set on that "rivalry".....or lack thereof. So, here you go. See if you can come up with any. Remember, no Googling. 1. What is the current head to head record of the Browns vs. the Saints? 2. What WR that lead the Saints in passing for a season also played for the Browns for a while? 3. Which Saints first round draft pick also played for the Browns for a while? 4. What Pro Bowl player for the Saints signed a big FA contract with the Browns....but never played a down for them? 5. On what date were the Saints founded? 6. After Hurricane Katrina, the Saints played their home games in 3 different cities. Name these cities. 7. The Saints won the only Super Bowl they ever appeared in. Besides them, what are the other 2 teams that have won the only SB they have been in? 8. The Saints colors are Black and Gold. What other teams in the NFL claim black and gold as their colors? 9. The Saints "Fleur de Lis" logo is actually the emblem of which French Royal Family? 10. Only 3 people whose primary playing career was with the Saints are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Name these three. Bonus: The Browns and the Saints actually played in the same division for ONE season together. Which year was that....what was the name of that division, and who were all the members of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
