Woohoo, annual post time!

As usual, it's better to guess and enjoy than to go to Wikipedia or Pro Football Reference and be the smartest guy in the room. Don't have to answer them all, just the ones you know.

*****

<s>1) Which team hold the record for most second-half points in a Super Bowl (two teams, need the Super Bowls the record was set, and tied, as well)?</s> N.Y. Giants, in Super Bowl XXI (only team, mistake on my part.).

<s>2) Name the last Super Bowl to have a scoreless fourth quarter.</s> Packers-Patriots, Super Bowl XXXI

<s>3) Name the first Super Bowl MVP on the offensive side of the ball that was not a quarterback.</s> Larry Czonka, Miami, Super Bowl VIII

<s>4) Name the last defensive lineman to win a Super Bowl MVP award.</s> Richard Dent, Chicago, Super Bowl XX

<s>5) Which Super Bowl had the best combined regular season record (i.e., not counting playoff victories)? Need both teams, their regular season records and the Super Bowl.</s> Super Bowl XIX: SF (15-1) vs. Miami (14-2)

<s>6) Name the last running back to rush for 150 yards or more in a Super Bowl. Need the player and the Super Bowl in which he accomplished the feat.</s> Terrrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII vs. Green Bay, 157 yards.

<s>7) The most individual points scored in a single Super Bowl is 18. It's been done five times. Name the player who did it twice.</s> Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIV and Super Bowl XXXIX

<s>8) Three players have scored Super Bowl touchdowns for two different teams. Name all three.</s> Jerry Rice, Ricky Proehl & Mushin Muhammad

<s>9) Name the player that holds the record for most punts in a Super Bowl. Need player name and Super Bowl. (Bonus if you name how many punts he had)</s> Brad Maynard, NY Giants, 11 punts, Super Bowl XXXV

<s>10) Name the team that holds the record for most yards gained in a Super Bowl. Team and Super Bowl which the feat was accomplished.</s> Washington Redskins, 602 yards vs. Denver Broncos, Super Bowl XXII

Enjoy!
 
No 1. I know the Giants scored 30 second half points in Super Bowl XXI, but damned if I can identify the other team to do it.
 
I'm guessing No. 10 is St. Louis in Super Bowl XXIV
And No. 1, since it asks for both teams, is 40 (Giants scored 29, Denver scored 11)
 
If No. 1 is combined scoring by both teams in a Super Bowl, the Bucs and Raiders had 46 in that rout, and I don't think anyone has tied that.

You are correct. I made an error there. It was just the Giants. I thought the Bucs had equaled the feat but I was wrong.

It wasn't combined.

And if it was combined it would have been the Bucs and Raiders.
 
#9 Brad Maynard, Giants, 11 punts against the Ravens Suer Bowl XXXV.

As a Giant fan I was so sure that they weren't going near a Super Bowl I booked a birthday party for my daughter's 3rd birthday at a rec center, complete with clown for Super Bowl Sunday. Had to book it 8 weeks in advance to get the date and the clown.
 
On Number 10. isn't it the Redskins in Super Bowl XXII against Denver. I was there, and they sure had one hell of a lot of yards.
