Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

To start, let me offer my thanks to all those who have participated in this weekly game.

Now, for my final crop of the year...



1. The Rams and Patriots have not met very many times in their histories. Can you identify this game from the pic?

2. Okay... there are two Rams in the crop. Both share last names with (though are unrelated to) current Rams. Who are they?

3. If you look at the Billboard singles chart for the year of this game, the No. 1 song at the end of the year has a title that describes a key addition to this year's Rams. What the heck am I talking about?

4. Hopefully, the No. 1 single from the February 3 that followed this game will also be applicable for the Rams. Again... what song am I referring to?

Good luck!

All I got is 1980 (Rams won 17-14)

Johnny Johnson, Hacksaw Reynolds

Starting Over (John Lennon) CJ Anderson

Celebration (Cool and the Gang)

Pretty sure that patriot is Don Calhoun

This game of yours is a lot of fun. You do a great job with the crops and trivia. Looking forward to these next year.

btw

"Celebration" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 7, 1981, and held that position for two weeks before being ousted by Dolly Parton's "9 to 5". It remains the band's only No. 1 hit.
By late 1980, the song had also reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Dance and R&B charts.
