One-season wonders & storylines

One-season wonders & storylines looks back at the years fans still bring up, the seasons remembered for a single record, a collapse, an unlikely hero or a moment of officiating chaos. It is about the storylines rather than tactics, so no film-room knowledge is needed. It suits fans who have followed the league for a while, but newer supporters will pick up plenty, since each note explains why that season became part of NFL folklore. It is a good way to understand the references that turn up whenever pundits start comparing eras.

The quiz is short and simple. There are 8 questions and a run takes about four minutes. Tap an answer, read the note, then move on to the next one. Nothing is saved to an account, so there is no pressure and no permanent record of any wrong answers.

Some storylines refuse to go away. The 1972 Miami Dolphins remain the only NFL team to finish a season with a perfect record, winning all 17 of their games through to their Super Bowl victory.
