#s 4 and 5 are wrong.

Instead of posting the correct answers, I'll let somebody else take a stab at those questions.

No reference materials here, just guesses on my part:

4. Chicago Bears?
5. Doug Williams?

[Packer Backer]

#5 is Doug Williams... Still haven't figured out who the Packer's first lost was to.

[ATLFalcons]

#4 is still the answer I'm looking for. #9 was correct but there is another team. Who can guess?

[Snake]

Atl, do you mean the Packers after they joined the NFL, or before they joined the NFL?

[ATLFalcons]

Atl, do you mean the Packers after they joined the NFL, or before they joined the NFL?
Their 1st NFL loss.

Number #9 was incorrect.

[Packer Backer]

#9 is Virginia Tech?

[Snake]

The Bears started out as the Chicago Staleys, was that the team that gave the Pack their first NFL loss?

[ATLFalcons]

#9 is Virginia Tech?
Correct. I still need number 4.

[ktss12]

Correct. I still need number 4.

I'll guess the Pottsville Maroons, only because they were local to my area of PA.

[ATLFalcons]

Incorrect.
