    Lynn Dickey I am sort going to give it to you. While Lynn Dickey was a QB for the Packers, Curtis Dickey is the guy here, and I am going to let you go with the last name.

    6. Three people that were Cleveland Browns as players went on to become the Head Coach of the Colts. Name those 3 persons.

    Don Shula

    Mike McCormack

    These two are right. The other is much harder because I think he was an interim coach (for just 9 games)

    7. Name all the teams that the Colts have met in the Super Bowl.

    New England

    Chicago

    Only Chicago is correct

    8. To which original 1920 NFL team do some claim that the Colts can trace their lineage to? (now considered defunct)

    Dallas

    NO.....but a Dallas team was a link in that supposed chain.

    10. The 1981 Colts gave up the most points in NFL history (which stands to this day). Within a margin of error of 10 points, how many points did that team give up?

    No, not close

    Peyton Manning

    John Elway

    These 4 are all correct, but there are more.

  • Surprised to hear Banks wasn't a Pro bowler for them....but, as good as he was, he did play below expectations...

    Lynn Dickey - Curtis Dickey - Tricky Dickey.....surprised I even remembered 1/2....so appreciate the concession

    and, duh, a real brain fart on the New England super bowls.....😉
