One of them is correct. In a weird twist the other owner ended up moving his team also.

Irsay and Al Davis (Colts/Raiders)?

One of the owners was Rosenbloom. He got the Rams in the trade.

This is correct. He was the owner of the Colts and traded them to Irsay for the Rams. So you got 1 of them. Vikingfan2k2 gets 1/4 right for his guess...but didn't narrow it down.

Not to be a downer, but the Raiders/Packers game where Butler made the famous leap, it appears Reggie White was out of bounds before he pitched the ball to Butler. So yes, all you haters, even then the Packers were getting preferential treatment from the refs, and we appreciate it. That game is on youtube and it happens at some point late in the game. It's not a very good game, but the Packers did win and headed to the playoffs for the first time in forever, so it was worth the rewatch to me

Segway to an easy one for you:

Who is the only team the Lions have lost two playoff games to, in the same calendar year?

Packers in 1994. The toss to Sharpe to win in the Silverdome and holding Barry to no yards in the cold of Lambeau. There was a slow ascent to being a good team for the Packers and the Lions decline under Fontes.
