Correct! The Dolphins defense the next year didn't allow a touchdown but the Redskins scored one on Garo Yepremian's unbelievably stupid fumble. The Ravens defense also didn't allow one as the Giants scored their's on a kickoff return.

27. Which was the first wild-card team to win the Super Bowl?

The Raiders, I think. Or maybe they were the first wildcard team to make it the Super Bowl. Not sure about that.

You are correct.

However in 1969 the AFL's playoff format was setup with the two division winners facing the opposite division's second place teams. The Chiefs finished second in the AFL west and went on to win the Super Bowl that year. They weren't officially called a wild card team but they didn't win the division either.

Very good. #36 could be a trap. Do they mean any type of coach or as a head coach?

That was 22. The Broncos led 10-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Redskins then proceeded to score five touchdowns in the second quarter. It was a pretty dull second half.
