Who scored the first 2-point conversion in NFL history, for which team, and in what year?
Bonus if you know the opponent.
Good luck!

Is this just from when the rule was re-introduced in 1994 or does it include when the AFL used it from 1960-1969?

I feel increasingly like Jonathon Ross on They Think It's All Over.

Just the NFL.
(Could you clarify, Shark, for the Americans in the audience?)

Sorry. They Think it's all over is a sports quiz on UK tv. Jonathon Ross is a regular guest despite, or maybe because of, his total ignorance about all forms of sport.

I remember reading about this a coiuple of months back, but I can't remember who scored the conversion. It was in a Miami game, and if I remember correctly, it was a pass from Dan Marino that was completed for the points. It might have been against the Bills, but I'm not sure about that either. Lots of guessing there..

i had a funny feeling that it was Marino, though I think in a Jets game.

Maybe Miami vs Jets?

Well, yeees...
I'm going for Marino, vs the Jets, in the 1994/1995 playoffs, I think.

I think it was a pass, though, so Marino didn't score the two-point conversion. He merely passed the ball to whoever scored the points.

Okay, the rule was intorduced in 1994 so I have to think it was one of the opening weekend games.
Miami played New England that week, with Danny out-duelling Drew Bledsoe in a 39-34 thriller (a game I saw on TV, though I will be guessing here)
Marino threw 5 TD passes that day which with a field goal would make 38 points normally, so 39 could suggest a 2 pointer!!
Okay, wild guesses all, but, Irving Fryar, Mark Ingram, Keith Jackson, Terry Kirby?!!!
I have to admit Eagle 1, you have me stumped!!!!

It's not Miami, though you're right about it being week 1 of the '94 season. Want a hint?

I wouldn't have thought it was time for a hint yet. Question's been up for less than 24 hours ...
I reckon it was ... Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick

I think it was a player from one of the weaker teams who would've been playing catchup e.g. Atlanta, Steve Broussard vs New Orleans.
