2) Who was the last defensive player named NFL Season MVP? 3) Which 2 Tight Ends were selected to the NFL's All-Decade team for the 1990's? 4) 1998 was the first time 4 players topped 2,000 yards from scrimmage in the same season.

Obviously, Jerry Rice is one of the 2 answers for #5.
Pisarcik and Herm Edwards are correct for #6. Nobody has answered the RB part yet.

Hearts is also correct.
All we need is an answer to Questions #5, not named Rice.

Well, the last name is Jones, but I do not see him referenced as 'Deacon' anywhere. His name does start with a 'D' though....

Yeah David Jones.
I did some research and never saw the Deacon reference. That is good information, thanks cuervo! And as always, excellent job on answering all the questions.

Honestly, it was not my own question, and I am not all that familiar with pre 80's football or the players, so I do a bit of research before I post the questions, and.....well, you get the picture.

Understandable. Keep up the good work, these are good exercises.
What gets me is how many countless times I must have seen the Miracle in the Meadowlands clip (being from Philly and everything), and I couldn't even remember that Czonka was in the backfield....
