Football Question 3
NFL in the 1970s #2 - We were one of the most fearsome teams in the league in the early 1970s, and the core of our team made four Super Bowl trips. But for a few years, we put a real emphasis on the "professional" part of football. We had a dentist playing quarterback. We had a future lawyer and state Supreme Court justice on our defensive line. Maybe if we had a good CPA or two playing linebacker, we might have actually won one of those four Super Bowls we were in. Which team are we?
The correct answer is 'Minnesota Vikings'
From 1969-76, the Minnesota Vikings may have been the most feared team in the NFL, rolling up an 87-24-1 record and usually annihilating opponents in the process. Their quarterback, Gary Cuozzo, who backed up Joe Kapp in 1968-69 and started the next two seasons, was a practicing dentist and orthodontist in the offseason. Defensive lineman Alan Page, a future Hall of Famer and the 1971 league MVP, earned a law degree while in the NFL and went on to become an assistant attorney general in Minnesota before being elected to the state's Supreme Court in 1993.
