Happy 86th birthday to nine-time Pro Bowler, 1975 AP Offensive Player of the Year and MVP and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1986, Fran Tarkenton!
Tarkenton, known as “The Scrambler,” played in 18 NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants. The third-round pick of the 1961 NFL Draft out of Georgia led the NFL in completions three times, touchdowns once (1975) and passing yards once (his final season in 1978).
His 47,007 passing yards are 15th-most all-time in the NFL, while his 342 touchdowns rank 13th. But despite reaching three Super Bowls, Tarkenton was never able to lift the Lombardi Trophy.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Tarkenton is 30th in NFL history in playoff games won as a starting quarterback with six in his career. With that being said, how many of the NFL quarterbacks with at least five postseason wins can you name in six minutes?
Good luck!
