The 'Passing-leaders by NFL team' quiz

Happy 77th birthday to two-time Pro Bowler, 1983 MVP and Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl XVII champion, Joe Theismann!

After playing his college ball at Notre Dame, Theismann was drafted by Miami in the fourth round of the 1971 NFL Draft and decided to spend time with the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League before signing with Washington ahead of the 1974 season, where he’d play the rest of his professional career. 

Theismann would go onto rack up 25,206 yards and 160 touchdowns to 138 interceptions in the nation’s capital while leading Washington to their first Super Bowl appearance – and victory – in Super Bowl XVII against the team that originally drafted him. 

Despite winning the Super Bowl in 1982-83 and being named MVP of the 1983 season, Theismann is perhaps most remembered for the way his career ended. In Week 11 of the 1985 season, New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor broke his leg on a sack, an injury that brought an abrupt end to Theismann’s playing days. 

While he hasn’t played a down since 1985, Theismann is still the all-time franchise leader in passing yards and wins by a quarterback in Washington history.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the quarterbacks to lead each franchise in passing yards can you name in five minutes? 

Good luck!
