Super Bowl Question 5
Super Bowl Quarterbacks - I was the first quarterback to lead a team to a come-from-behind Super Bowl victory, and the first quarterback to collect three Super Bowl rings, even though I started in only one of those games. Who am I?
The correct answer is 'Earl Morrall'
Earl Morrall stepped in so masterfully for an injured Johnny Unitas in the 1968 season that he won NFL MVP honors for the year. Facing the New York Jets in the Super Bowl though, he was just 6/17 in passing, with three interceptions and 71 yards (with two of the completions, for 34 yards, coming on the Colts' opening drive) before being replaced by the ailing Unitas. Two years later however, Morrall came into the game when Unitas was injured midway through the second quarter and the Colts trailing 13-6. He played a fairly steady game and led the team to 10 points in the fourth quarter for a 16-13 win. During the Miami Dolphins' undefeated 1972 season, Morrall started the last nine games after Bob Griese was injured during the regular season, plus their divisional playoff game. Griese returned for the AFC championship and the Super Bowl that year, but Morrall collected his second Super Bowl ring as the Dolphins won Super Bowl VII. He remained with the team for Super Bowl VIII, again seeing no action, but becoming the first quarterback to get three rings.

The correct answer is 'Muhsin Muhammad'
Muhammad's 4-yard touchdown catch was actually his second Super Bowl touchdown catch. He played with Carolina in Super Bowl XXXVIII, and caught an 85-yard touchdown pass from Jake Delhomme. It was a new record for the longest TD catch in Super Bowl history. Unfortunately for Muhammad, his Panthers lost to the Patriots that day 32-29.
Super Bowl Question 10

The correct answer is 'Orange Bowl, Miami FL'
