'67 Philadelphia follies

 Q.

A. Nothing.

Actually, Stovall was also the team's punter. In the 1960s it was still common for one of the regular players to take on punting duty.

Q.

A.

The correct answer is the most boring one possible: he was drafted by the team.

Q.

A.

According to the Google AI, the biggest day of 1966 was when England won the World Cup.

This is an error card; the question ends with a period. The actual answer was October 23, when Scarpati recorded three interceptions. It doesn't matter what team it was against; don't bother looking it up.

    Three interceptions in a game back in the 60's is impressive. I started digging a little and discovered that Sammy Baugh once had 4 interceptions against the Lions in 1943. I knew he was a QB and a punter... but had no idea he played safety for the Redskins too. In addition to intercepting those 4 balls, he also tossed 4 touchdowns and threw 2 interceptions of his own.
