Nice quiz! The Garrett question seems a little out of place with the rest, mostly because it's likely that episode will largely be forgotten in year or two. The "butt fumble" however has stood the test of time. :-)

I agree. It was one of my two misses (defensive MVP the other) and it was the most recent. Anyway, I should have known it. Nice mix of questions.

Brady was suspended for not cooperating with the investigation; not for alleged involvement.
