    NFL Trivia: Super Backup QB's

    Nine teams have won the Super Bowl with a backup quarter back, name the QB's and the team they won the Super Bow with.

    Just to be clear here's and example.
    If the Eagles win with backup Foles backing up Wentz, it'll be the tenth time in NFL history a team would win a Super Bowl with a backup replacing the seasons starting QB.

    Name the nine that has done it in the past.

    Nashy, just so u know, I'm not cheating on this. No googles. Just going off top of my head.

    I think I can get pretty close to 9. 8 I feel good about, the last one is a stab:

    Morrall (BALT)...replaces Unitas
    DWilliams (WASH)...replaces Schroeder
    Brady (NEW ENG)...replaces Bledsoe
    Plunkett (OAK)...replaces Pastorini

    Hostetler (NYG)...replaces Simms
    KWarner (Rams)...replaces TGreen (who was injured in pre-season)
    BradJohnson (Tbay)...replaces ?? (for life of me, I can't remember)
    Dilfer (BALT)...replaces TBanks

    The 9th one is a stab. I'm going to say Staubach (DALL) replaces Morton.
    ...I know it was rotating QBs at one point.

    Those are my best guesses. Good trivia Q, tho.

    I don't think Bradshaw was Pitts starter in the 1st one. He was part of a platoon at best...

    Brad Johnson was the starter for TB.

    Did Morrall win one? When he replaced Unitas, Colts lost to Jets.

    SB5. Depends on phrasing of question. Unitas started game, but Morrall came off bench in 2q to lead Colts to the win.

    For the record, Ravens beat Giants in 2000-2001 SB, that 2001 SB Tony Banks started the year for Baltimore, Dilfer was the backup, and Dilfer led the Ravens, (more like their defense did) to win it all.
