Bing NFL Quiz – Plays, Players and Super Bowls
The National Football League is the most-watched sports league in the United States, and the Super Bowl is one of the biggest television events in the world. Behind every final score are decades of history, legendary plays and records that fans love to debate.
The first Super Bowl, played in January 1967, was won by the Green Bay Packers under Vince Lombardi, whose name now appears on the trophy. The Packers are also unusual off the field: they are owned by their fans. A few years later, the 1972 Miami Dolphins completed the only perfect season in league history.
Some plays are so famous they have their own names. The Immaculate Reception, caught by Franco Harris of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1972, is a classic example. Comebacks are part of the legend too, such as the Patriots rallying from 28-3 down to win Super Bowl LI in overtime.
Coaches and quarterbacks define eras. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady won six titles together in New England, and Brady retired as the leader in career passing yards. Each spring, the NFL Draft brings the next generation of stars into the league.
