darin3 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Now that we're in a total dead period for the NFL, thought it might be fun to have folks here ask NFL-related trivia questions. NO GOOGLING FOR ANSWERS! I'll start.... Who is the career leader in sacks for the Green Bay Packers? I'm sure this one will go fast if Big John is around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Are you asking all-time or since it became an official stat in 1983? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, I believe the way I heard the question phrased is was when the stat became official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Was asking for clarification. I will defer to a non-homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hmmm... was thinking Clay Matthews or Hawk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually pretty surprised. I thought it'd be Reggie White even with him being there just a handful of years. Matthews has the most, with 83.5. Which is odd because on NFL-Radio they said it was 91.5. E2A: Irish, since you got it right... you got a question for us?

Big John Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 BTW Willie Davis is the all-time leader but played in the 1960s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E2A: Irish, since you got it right... you got a question for us? My first thought was The Minister of Defense as well. However, as Cowboys' Fan I saw him way too much in a Philly uniform to know that a ton of his sacks came as an Eagle, hell, he's probably the all time sack leader for the Eagles! I'll come up with a trivia question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Alright, here's my question - Who are the only 2 players whose playing careers spanned over 4 decades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I definitely know Morton Andsersen has the longest career. The other probably has to be a kicker too, but I'm going to say Brady anyway.

Big John Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Brady was drafted in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Big John said, Brady was also 3 decades starting in 2000, would've had it if he was in 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I'm not going to say because I finally gave in and looked it up. Kicker who played from the late 80's through at least 2010. Few different teams, but definitely played for the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clarification, that's Clay Matthews Jr. (his dad was a Brown) I am drawing a blank on the 2nd player who played in 4 decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him going by Jr during his Browns playing days. And Clay Matthews the first also played in the NFL, guessing he just wasn't that well known. He had 2 sons and 4 grandons play in the NFL, very impressive. I too found the answer after looking it up, was not somebody I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 2nd one, Peyton Manning? Simms? Brees? Montana? Elway? Marino? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
