Obscure sports trivia

Hostetler wouldn't have played enough to put up those numbers. IIRC, he didn't become the starter until Week 12 or 13 when Simms got hurt. Same with Nick Foles.

I'll go with Bob Griese and Doug Williams.
With Griese, the Dolphins didn't throw a ton and being upside down on TDs to INTs was not uncommon before they changed the passing rules.
And with Williams, I know the Redskins were a running team, he probably missed a couple of games because of the strike, and IIRC he was in and out of the lineup during the season, all of which would have kept his numbers from being off the charts.

 

Looked it up, but I'll throw one out there that I figured out on my own — Peyton Manning. Running through all of the Super Bowl QBs in my head, and it took me getting to him to remember how much he struggled in that 2015 season. And then only playing half of it limited his production even more.
I was sort of on the right track with Williams, in thinking of guys who didn't play full seasons.

With the other one, it's not Griese but I was on the right track with the logic.

 

Bart Starr (1967) and Peyton Manning (2015).

We had what is thought to be the first Black offensive line in NFL history - and it didn't happen until the 2000s. Which team are we?

 

Gonna guess the Raiders because why not.

 

That would be the Dallas Cowboys of 2002, mon ami.
Emmitt broke his record in October and the team went 5-11 under Dave Campo.

Flozell---------Kelvin-------------Andre---------------Larry-----------Solomon
Adams--------Garmon-----------Gurode--------------Allen-----------Page

You might recall Gurode as the chap who was essentially assaulted during a game by Albert Haynesworth.
