"Harold Jackson played at Jackson State ... bonus: Head Coach at Jackson State, too."

Scholarship Winner!

Interestingly, there are not players with surname Washington from Washington or Washington St., or Houston from Houston.

But in the NFL, Ken Houston played with Houston, and Joe Washington played with Washington.

This might be an easy one but what is the significance of this rather lengthy list of great players?

They're all in the Hall of Fame?

Also, they all started their career since the 60s and played for only one team in their careers (of course, that kind of list is incomplete, as Roger Staubach and Fred Biletnikoff, amonggst others, are absent).

They're all in the Hall of Fame?

and...?

and played for only one team in their careers

and...?

(there's one more criteria)

List of HOF'ers who played in the 80's

List of HOF'ers who played in the 80's

bingo. HOF'ers who played for only one team and part or all of their career was in the 80s.

Set of questions termed "NFL Films Super Bowl I-XX Trivia":

1) Who viewed their fans with cynicism and indifference?

2) Who had Don Shula's third world championship in his hands?

3) Who was the nemesis of Bob Griese's running game?

4) Who was picked as a pigeon...a target to probe?

5) Who asked "Where the hell is the nose guard coming from"?

6) Who carried the ball like a loaf of bread?

1 is the Rams. 4 is the Vikings Jackie Wallace.
