They showed the top five the other day on something so it
was fresh in my head. I think Kenny O was second.

Give that man a Fresca!
They used to have a big picture of them on one of the Meadowland's
escalators and I used to always get people on that one.

I'd think this would be more memorable, even cheating I got nothing.

OK,
He lived in the apartment next to me in Flushing.
Oh, you mean a hint that might help you.
He also played (sparingly) for that other team in New York.

Everyone knows the Heidi Bowl Game, where the Raiders scored two touchdowns in the last 42 seconds, after NBC had cut away to the game.

Who scored the two touchdowns (two different players)?

No idea. Have any QBS even played for both NY teams?

Do you mean Frank Reich?

AFL Firsts. There was quite a bit of franchise movement early, but, NAME THE FIRST VENUE EACH TEAM PLAYED A HOME GAME IN

TITANS
BUFFALO
DOLPHINS
PATRIOTS
RAIDERS
LA/SD CHARGERS
DALLAS/KC
OILERS

The Titans opened at the Polo Grounds til Shea opened.

Buffalo got stuck in the very cold War Memorial Stadium

The fish opened in the Orange Bowl

The Raiders opened in the obscure Lewis Youell Stadium

LA played at the Los Angeles Coliseum and the moved to SD where they
played at Balboa Stadium, also the home of the Padres I believe.

The Chiefs started in Memorial Coliseum, described by many as the nicest stadium in the league

The Oilers played at Jepperson Stadium with the Colt 45's til the Astrodome came along.

The Patriots started at Nickerson Stadium, the home of Boston University.

Half right. Smith scored the first touchdown. But an obscure running back (he only appeared in 22 games total) with an unforgettable name scored the second.

Buffalos War Memorial Stadium "locker rooms" had no heat and the water main was often frozen. Talk about for the love of the game.

In 1980 Richard Todd suffered a broken toe late in the season.
How did he break his toe?

Someone fired a missile-toe at it?

Can't wait for the answer. This is a toughie.
But that's why its trivia.

Todd, btw, was a guy who wrote left-handed but threw a football righty.
