Hey guys, it's getting down to the wire here at drewscards, almost finished with this year's Grandpa Roy Trivia for 2009! Here's today's question, now every point counts, who wants a prize???
In the NFL, teams who have competed for championships frequently have had strong defenses with colorful names.
What teams do the following names refer to?
Fearsome Foursome-> LOS ANGELES RAMS (Answered correctly by SpastikMooss, 2.5 points awarded to him)
Purple People Eaters-> MINNESOTA VIKINGS (Answered correctly by Anthony K, 1 point awarded to him)
Orange Crush-> DENVER BRONCOS (Answered correctly by Troll, 1 point awarded to him)
No-Name-> MIAMI DOLPHINS (Answered correctly by MattR, 1 more point awarded to him)
Sack Exchange-> NEW YORK JETS (Answered correctly by Mark's Ephemera, 2.5 points added to him)
Steel Curtain-> PITTSBURGH STEELERS (Answered correctly by MattR plus 4 players named, 2.5 points awarded to him)
Doomsday-> DALLAS COWBOYS (Answered correctly by Captain Canuck, 2.5 points for him)
Monsters of the Midway-> CHICAGO BEARS (Answered correctly by Spastik Moose, 1 more point for him)
Please leave a comment with your answer, if you can name at least 4 players from that team (along with the team), you will get 2.5 points towards the leaderboard! If you just name the team, you will be credited 1 point. Make sure you leave the team name no matter what though.
OK? Remember, no reference sites, only 1 guess a day, people check at different times of the day so we need to be fair and let them have an opportunity. Thanks guys, and good luck!

Drew, I wouldn't normally answer a football question, but I think I know most of these believe it or not... I will guess at one and say the Orange Crush is the Denver Broncos-I think from the Karl Mecklanberg days...
