What was the winning team in #4?
What was the losing team?
Who was the running back?
Is he dead or alive?
Ugh. The running back has to be John Riggins, who has passed, so the winner was Washington. I know it wasn't the Raiders becaise they beat the Redskins in 80. Who else was good in the AFC then? That year was goofy because of the strike, so it could have been anybody. It probably wasn't the Steelers, but I'll say them anyway.
Who is the recording artist in #5?
What album was the tour supporting?
David Bowie, Let's Dance. Thanks for this that gets me pretty close to the year!
What year did all these events take place? (Five points)
1983
I'm torn between 82 and 83, but I think Let's Dance was more than a year after MTV started and the Challenger was more than a couple years after Sally Ride. Do we get partial points for coming close? Ha!
