Without giving partial credit....

1) incorrect
2) correct
3) incorrect
4) incorrect
5) I guess I should have specified regular season, but still incorrect but there is one more RB to be named

Hmm...I will wait to comment until other answers come in....but these partial answers are all correct

Bonus question #1: Jim Hunt, Patriots

Question #2: I found 2 two-time AFL yearly rushing champions. Nance and Gilchrist. Mike Garrett had 2 1000 yard seasons but one was in the 1972 NFL Season. Only 1 was in the AFL. So I am wondering who the other one was? Perhaps I missed something... ?

EDIT: I did... missed Paul Lowe's "other" 1000 yard season, besides his 1965 MVP, league-leading year. My bad, as they used to say....

Correct! Does anyone know of a longer INT TD return for a DT?

In AFL?
Or overall?

Dan Wilkinson had an 88-yarder for a TD but Hunt's his longest in AFL history

3 - Namath and Pete Beathard

5 - Billy Cannon, Keith Lincoln in the 63 Championship Game, Gilchrist, Nance, Clem Daniels. Guessing Lincoln didn't count because of postseason? Bonus answer?
