Lance Alworth only had 3 touchdowns his rookie year, and 2 came in this game, from Jack Kemp and Keith Lincoln.
Art Powell scored two TD's in this game for NY, he was later Kemp's teammate in Buffalo in 1967.

Correct! That was quick. I thought this one would be a bit more of a stumper.

Only two players since 1950 have thrown for a touchdown and returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the same game. The other one was Joe Washington in that rainy MNF game against New England.

As far as I know this was the last game where one team used 4 QBs in one game, and all legitimate quarterbacks, no formations where a WR takes the snap like in the wildcat.

Hint: The game was played in "prime time"!!

I know that the Bills used 4 QBs at Miami on 10/12/68. Ed Rutkowski does not show up in the box score as attempting a pass but I recently read that he did play QB in this game. (amongst others that season) This game was played on a Saturday. Not sure if it was prime time though.

I am guessing that my guess is wrong. A team had to have used 4 QBs in a game since then.

I'm wondering when was the last time a team carried four quarterbacks on their (active) roster...
So I am wondering if one of the four isn't a hybrid QB (George Blanda, Kordell Stewart, Jim Jensen, etc).

Rutkowski played quarterback for the two point conversion, where he completed the game tying conversion pass to Gary McDermott.

The 1995 Steelers and 2000 Patriots each carried four quarterbacks, but they don't fit the answer here.

Here is a relatively famous game...

*Regular season game
*Pro Bowl RB has 4 carries for -11 yards
*Player is ejected
*19 combined penalties for 238 yards
*a two point conversion is made
*former Pro Bowl RB rushes for last time in career and suffers major injury

Was this game broadcast in its entirety?

I heard it was on the West Coast.

It got interrupted by a broadcast from the Alps.

We haven't gotten an answer on this one yet. I'm curious.

Last game of the 1974 NFL season...December 14, a Monday Night Football game played on a Saturday. The Raiders used Darryl Lamonica (did not attempt a pass), Ken Stabler, George Blanda (who threw a TD pass), and Larry Lawrence. I watched the game again the other day and curiously Cosell and co. make no mention of it being a record of any kind. I can't think of a game since then where this has happened. Stump your friends!
