Little Trivia Questions.

1. Name Original AFL teams.
2. Name teams that are where they are from the start.


More to come that will get harder, LOL!

Don't have a list of games so only one I am guessing is Chiefs Vs. Vikings. This one worrys me a lot. Mahomes still out, but Moore,(Back up) been pretty well!
Okay, Tom, as a child I had a few football cards (all gone now) and would like to guess the Original AFL Teams without googling:

Boston Patriots (had a Jim Whalen card)
Cleveland Browns
New York Jets
Houston Oilers
San Diego Chargers
Oakland Raiders
Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers
Buffalo Bills

At least one of those has to be incorrect, as I believe there were once only sixteen total NFL/AFL teams.

Close but no cigar!

Original AFL Teams.

Miami Dolphians.
New York Titans, became the jets.
Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals
Dallas Texans became KC Chiefs
Denver Broncos
Houston Oilers became Tennessee Titans
Chargers. In LA then to San Diego, now back to L A. Then, maybe London, LOL
Raiders LA then Oakland, now going to Las Vegas
Boston Patriots

When the NFL and AFL merged, some teams were moved from NFL and split into AFC and NFC.

Pittsburgh and Cleveland were both original NFL and moved over. Wanted to balance the Conferences.

Now Another Trivia Question?

What is the original AFL teams with starting Helmet design that are the same today? 0 changes!

Good Luck!

Good Luck!
Thank you for your answer list, Tom. From looking thru it, I'll guess the Miami Dolphins have had 0 helmet changes.

If memory serves (and from viewing many a Throwback Uniform game) here are a few old helmet designs:

Cincinnati helmets used to display their host city in printed capital letters like this CINCINNATI;
Patriot helmets had a colonial-dressed (think 1776) man in a three-corner hat ready to hike a football;
Bills had a plain, one-color sideview of a buffalo;
Broncos had a bucking horse within an orange letter 'D'.


This week's games: Panthers over Pack---Chiefs over Titans---Bills over Browns (sorry not sorry, Cleveland, you've had your chances)---Vikes over 'Boys---and a tie in the Bears/Lions game to keep things interesting.

Thank you, Eagles; Vikes loss and Bills win still keeps my S.B. dream going; Packers snoozed; Browns almost pulled it out .

Saints over Tampa
Vikings over Broncos
Ravens over Texans
Bills over Miami
Colts over Jacksonville
Carolina over Atlanta
49 ers 0ver Cardinals

Good job, Tom. And a great job by The KC Chiefs!

This week I have to be a (temporary) fan of the 'Boys over Not My Team---Bills over Broncs---Browns over Dolphs---Lions over 'Skins---Bears over Giants, but only by one point---49ers over The Pack.

Vikes and Chiefs get some needed rest!
