We had to endure three tedious, lopsided matches, and the prospect of a lost weekend before we got a decent NFL playoff game. But boy, was it ever decent. Here’s hoping this mini-quiz is as exciting as the Cardinals/Packers tilt was.
The following are OLD logos that current NFL teams once used as either their primary or alternate logos. Can you identify all twelve teams? Good luck.

Where and When is the next meeting scheduled?
