Take the Kirwan quiz: No. 1

(May 22, 2006) -- Last year, a series of NFL quizzes I gave turned out to be just what the fans wanted late in the spring while they waited for the start of summer camp. The first of three short tests this time around is designed to remind you of what really happened last season. So have a little fun testing your memory (no cheating!) and drop me an e-mail at calloftheweek@aol.com to discuss your test results. I gave the short 20-question True/False challenge to some NFL friends of mine and the best score was a 19, so there is room for someone to have the best score. Figure you have no more than 10 minutes to answer the questions. Lets start!
True/False ... answer key is at the bottom. A word of caution -- if you cheat when you play golf by yourself, you are probably going to cheat and look at the answer key, so don't do it!
1. At his Hall of Fame induction last summer, Steve Young finished up his induction speech with a pass to Jerry Rice.
2. Tom Brady led the NFL in passing last regular season with 4,110 yards.
3. Eli Manning threw for more yards than his brother, Peyton, during the regular season last year.
4. Peyton Manning threw for more touchdowns than Carson Palmer last year during the regular season.
5. Shaun Alexander had more rushing touchdowns than Tiki Barber, Rudi Johnson, Warrick Dunn and Reuben Droughns combined last year during the regular season.
6. Ricky Williams rushed for more yards than any of the following backs in the 2005 season: Curtis Martin, Corey Dillon, Brian Westbrook or Jerome Bettis.
7. Hines Ward caught more touchdown passes then Chad Johnson last year.
8. Marvin Harrison caught more passes than his teammate, Reggie Wayne, last season.
Antonio Bryant had a career high in catches last year. But was it enough?
9. Former Browns receiver (now 49ers) Antonio Bryant caught more passes than any of the following in 2005: Randy Moss, Andre Johnson or Eddie Kennison.
10. Dwight Freeney had more sacks than all of the following pass rushers: Aaron Schobel, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Derrick Burgess.
11. The best pass-rushing tandem in the NFL last year was Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis of the Colts.
12. The most sacks by a defensive tackle last year was Rod Coleman of the Falcons with 10½.
13. Ty Law led the NFL in interceptions last year with 10.
14. The best cornerback tandem for interceptions last year was Carolina Panthers corners Ken Lucas and Chris Gamble, who totaled 13.
15. Jonathan Vilma led the NFL in the unofficial category of total tackles last season with 169.
16. The best percentage of third-down conversions by an offense in this group last year -- Pittsburgh, Denver, Atlanta, Seattle -- was Seattle.
17. San Diego scored more team touchdowns last year than Cincinnati, Kansas City or Denver.
18. In the playoffs last year, Ben Roethlisberger threw for more yards than Matt Hasselbeck.
19. In defensive yards given up per game during the regular season last year, the best defense of this group -- N.Y. Giants, San Diego, Denver, Arizona -- was San Diego.
20. In the Super Bowl last year, no individual rushed for 100 yards or more during the game.
ANSWER KEY: 1. False. (Dan Marino threw a pass to Mark Clayton) 2. True. 3. True. 4. False. (Palmer threw 32 to Manning's 28) 5. True. 6. True. 7.True. 8. False. (Wayne caught one more than Harrison) 9. True. 10. False. (He had less than all of them) 11. False. (Osi Uymenora and Michael Strahan had 26, the Colts duo had 22½) 12. True. 13. False. (Law tied with Deltha O'Neil) 14. False. (Jets' Ty Law/David Barrett had 15 and Bengals' O'Neil/James also had 15) 15. True. 16. False. (Atlanta) 17. True. 18. True. 19. False. (Arizona) 20. True.
