Chris Chandler and the Passer Rating System

Chris Chandler had a long (16 seasons) NFL career as both a starting and backup quarterback. He played for the Colts, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Rams, Oilers, Falcons, Bears, and then the Rams again. He played collegiately for the University of Washington Huskies.

There are many mysteries surrounding the Passer Rating System used to assess NFL quarterbacks, but a score of zero is of course the worst rating you can get while a score of 158.3 is the best rating you can get.

Chris Chandler has the distinction of being the only quarterback (through the 2006 season) to have achieved both a zero rating in a game and a perfect 158.3 rating in a game during his career.

what is the win lose record for the last 16 years packers vs vikings home and away

Well, upon further review… over the past 16 years (1992-2007… that would cover the years since Brett Favre joined the Packers) the Packers lead the series with 17 wins vs. the Vikings 15 wins… pretty close.

Being in the same division, these two teams play twice a year. We wondered, what about season sweeps? Which team has swept the other one more often?

The Vikings have swept the Packers on four different occasions, winning both their contests in the years 1992, 1993, 1998, and 2005.

But, the Packers have swept the Vikings in five different years; 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2007.

As far as home/away for the series goes, these two teams both seem to enjoy a healthy home field advantage.

The Packers record at home against the Vikings over the last 16 years is: 11-5
While when playing the Vikings on the road over the past 16 years their record is: 6-10

All this data comes from regular season games.

Thanks for the great question!

Colts and Rams, Biggest Trade in NFL History?

While not officially a player for player swap, the Baltimore Colts and Los Angeles Rams participated in one of the most unusual, if not largest, trades in NFL history. In 1972, Baltimore Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom traded the entire franchise (players, administration, equipment, everything) to Robert Irsay the then-owner of the Los Angeles Rams for his entire franchise. No people or equipment changed cities, one day Rosenbloom and Irsay owned the Colts and Rams respectively, and the next day they’d switched places as owners of those teams.

In a strange coincidence, both teams would eventually leave their respective cities and relocate to play football in the Midwest. The Colts left Baltimore in 1984 and have since played as the Indianapolis Colts, while the Rams left Los Angeles in 1995 and became the St. Louis Rams.

An interesting note regarding Super Bowl trophies: The Baltimore Colts won Super Bowl V and were presented of course with the Super Bowl trophy. In 1972, when he traded franchises with Irsay, Rosenbloom kept the Super Bowl Trophy and took it west with him to Los Angeles. The Colts petitioned the NFL, and the NFL gave the Colts a replacement Super Bowl Trophy. In the legal maneuvers surrounding the Colts leaving Baltimore for Indianapolis, they were forced to leave the replacement trophy in Baltimore as part of the settlement. So, until the Colts won Super Bowl XLI following the 2006 season they did not have a Super Bowl Trophy, even though the organization had also won Super Bowl V.

Another connected story to this trading of franchises is centered on the legal help that the two owners received during the transaction. The entire deal was supervised by attorney Hugh Culverhouse. Culverhouse would later join these two as equals when he purchased the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers a few years later, he would go on to own them for a significant amount of time.
