Green means fully correct,  Blue partially correct,  red wholly incorrect

2. Name those  5 Head Coaches...who have coached since WWII....who have the 5 highest Win Loss percentages in their NFL coaching careers.   Hints: A. None are the same as the names in Q#1.....and B....there may be a surprise or 2 in there.

5. Two teams have won Championships in their history under  4 different Head coaches.    Name these two teams.

Packers, Colts    Check on Packers, not Colts  (Colts would have 4 IF you included the Colts 1968 "NFL Championship"  which they won...but then got beat in the Super Bowl III.  I do not include that as a title)   One more.
