About our NFL trivia quizzes

The NFL you watch today began on September 17, 1920, when club owners met in Canton, Ohio, to form the American Professional Football Association, electing Canton Bulldogs star Jim Thorpe as its first president. The league didn't take the name "National Football League" until 1922, and only two founding franchises, the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears, still play under that original 1920 lineage — a detail that trips up even longtime fans.

Our 2 NFL quizzes split into three levels built around the league's own history. Easy rounds stick to things casual fans already half-know, like which team won the first Super Bowl or how many games make up today's regular season. Medium rounds move into career numbers — passing yardage leaders, rushing records, coaching win totals. Hard rounds dig into 1936 draft trivia, the Pro Football Hall of Fame's charter class, and rule changes like the 2024 dynamic kickoff, across 20 questions per quiz.

Frequently asked questions

What are some NFL trivia questions?

There's no official master list, but solid questions draw on verified league history: which team beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35–10 in the first Super Bowl, played January 15, 1967? The answer is the Green Bay Packers, whose quarterback Bart Starr was named that game's MVP. Other strong prompts ask about career records, like which quarterback holds the NFL's all-time passing-yardage mark.

What are 10 good trivia questions?

There's no fixed top-10, but questions that test real knowledge draw on verified records: the longest field goal in NFL history, as of the 2025 season, is a 66-yard kick by Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, made September 26, 2021, against the Detroit Lions. Pairing that with the 1972 Miami Dolphins' 17-0 run, which as of the 2025 season remains the only perfect season in NFL history, makes for a tough round.
