How much do you know about the Patriots? | New England Patriots

Interesting quiz from the Pats' team web site. Try it out with no life lines - i.e., no referencing the internet, books or phone calls for your answers. And to give others a fair shot, please don't post answers (at least for a few days).

1. Briefly, it was Gillette Stadium’s original name. (200 points)

2. This former quarterback is the only Patriot besides Tom Brady to throw a touchdown pass in the 2014 postseason. (400 points)

3. The Patriots have played home games in seven different venues throughout franchise history, including one 1968 game against the New York Jets in this southern location. (1000 points)

4. In 2014, this player broke the New England Patriots all-time scoring record. (200 points)

5. Tom Brady followed in the footsteps of his childhood hero Joe Montana in 2005 when he hosted this popular weekend TV show. (200 points)

6. The Patriots own a perfect 2-0 record at this venue famous for the other kind of football, where they defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009 and St. Louis Rams in 2012. (800 points)

7. This hard hitter joined Tom Brady as a member of Major League Baseball's 1995 draft class, before the two teamed up again to lead the Patriots to Super Bowl glory in 2001. (1000 points)

8. Don’t try to keep up with this Patriots defensive end and his brothers, who have been referred to as America’s Most Athletic Family. (400 points)

9. It's no joke, the Boston Patriots briefly adopted this team name before becoming the New England Patriots in 1971. (1000 points)

10. This three-time Super Bowl champion is the only Patriot in franchise history to be named Pro Bowl MVP. (600 points)

11. In 2012, this Patriot player was the choice to appear on a short-lived dating competition TV show. (600 points)

12. In a game against this AFC foe, the Patriots overcame a 14-point deficit, marking the greatest playoff comeback in team history. (400 points)

13. In addition to Tom Brady, these three current players have won both a Super Bowl and NCAA National Championship. (800 points)

14. Gillette Stadium serves up about 2,000 pounds of this popular concession item at the average Patriots home game. (600 points)

15. In 1960, illustrator Phil Bissell invented Pat Patriot when he drew a cartoon depicting Boston’s new football team for this local newspaper. (200 points)

16. Five current Patriots wore scarlet during their college playing days at this east coast university. (400 points)​

Failure on #1, 7, 10, 13, 14 and 15.

5400 points.
 
I scored 2600, *steps away in shame* :(

Oh and 800 points for question 6? They're really pushing for it aren't they? I hope it comes back to slap the NFL in their faces
 
I missed on 3, 7, 9, 10, 13 & 14 and came up with 3800 points.
 
3,000 points, no cheating, not bad for a guy who often forgets what day it is... long term memory is better than short term..
 
Got 7 right. Should've known a couple more though.

Total: 3600 points
 
I got #3 and #14 wrong, and only got 2/3s of #13. 6,533.33. I had a lucky guess on #7.
 
4,600, wicked smart, I'm not.....
 
6000. Didn't know 1, 3, 9, 14.
 
Not sure on the points, but I missed 1, 3, 9, 1/3 of 13 and 14 (I'm in baseball mode, picked hot dogs for some reason).

Too heavy on present-day (or at least Brady-era) Patriots imo...even if they didn't go back to the early days it would have been nice to see a few questions on some 80's and 90's teams/players. fun quiz though.
