About This Quiz

Are you a true football fan? Can you tell if a helmet belongs to the Patriots or the Eagles, or the Ravens or the Redskins, without a second thought? What if we blurred out the logo? If you still think you've got what it takes, prove your NFL IQ with this quiz!

Football is far and away the most popular spectator sport in America, with 37 percent of people naming it as their favorite sport to watch in a 2018 Gallup poll. Basketball came in second, with just 11 percent of people naming it as their preferred sport. This devotion to football is obvious in the million-dollar ads that pepper NFL TV broadcasts, and in the massive number of viewers the Super Bowl pulls in each year. In 2018, for instance, a staggering 103 million people tuned in to watch the Eagles trounce the Pats - making this game the 10th-most-watched program in history at the time.

But forget ratings and dollars; real football devotion comes from the heart, with countless fans counting their team as part of their very identities - tuning in each week no matter how well the team is playing and bleeding team colors.

But how well do you really know the various teams that make up the NFL? Take our quiz to see if you can identify these helmets!

The Los Angeles Rams are a team that came, went and came back, making their mark in each city. The Rams are the only teams to have won an NFL Championship in three different cities. In 1945 they won the championship in Cleveland, in 1951 they won in Los Angeles, and in 1999 they won in St. Louis. After spending 1946 to 1994 in Los Angeles, the team was relocated to St. Louis from 1995 to 2015. Now that they are back in Los Angeles, the question to ask is how long until the Rams win a championship in each of their franchise cities? The Rams relocation is one of the reasons the Oakland Raiders wound up going to Las Vegas.
