    That doesn’t seem like it goes back far enough. With two teams playing home games at Giants Stadium, you get to 492 games in 31 years. The 464 for Soldier Field puts the starting point somewhere in the mid 60s.

    Superdome is pretty self-explanatory. Almost 50 seasons of home games, save for post-Katrina for a season or so. 50 x 8 (and now occasionally) nine home games + some postseason games.

    Based my guess on remembering the Cardinals played several seasons at Wrigley.
    What I didn't know until looking it up this morning was the Cardinals, during the final season in Chicago, played home games at Soldier Field and ... Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn.
    Most of us probably associate the Chicago Cardinals with Comiskey Park and rightfully so, but they bounced around a bit.

    I meant that adding AFL and AAFC games wouldn't explain why the Superdome is still above Wrigley on the Pro Football Reference list.

    OK, the source of this information is "Old School NFL."

    Which NFL quarterback (not AFL) threw the most TD passes (117) between the 1963 and 1967 seasons (inclusive)? A five-year period that (for me) first exposed me to seriously watching NFL football in one of its golden ages, just before the merger.

    Only two NFL receivers have posted 1,000-yard seasons with four different teams. They are:

    I was going to guess Harold Jackson and cheated and checked first. He doesn't have four, but he has more than 3,000 yards with three different teams. I'm too lazy to look up how rare that is.
