Turf Show Times
Over the last several months, “20-0” has become one of the most popular trivia and roster-building games among football fans. The concept is simple: build the perfect team by selecting players who fit specific categories, requirements, or clues. The challenge comes from finding the right answers without repeating selections and proving your football knowledge along the way.
For fans of Turf Show Times, we put a Rams spin on the growing phenomenon.
This wasn’t about fantasy football projections or statistical debates. In fact, we made things a little tougher for the Gridiron IQ crowd. No statistics were included. No career totals. No Pro Bowl counts. Just your football memory was tested, your knowledge of Rams history, and your ability to construct the ultimate roster.
The question was simple:
Were you able build a Rams team that would go 20-0?
Fill out the offense with the following positions: QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX, and FLEX.
Fill out the defense with the following positions: DT, LB, EDGE, CB, S, and FLEX.
(*For the sake of this version, you could not select the same player twice if their name appeared again*)
Here were the 12 rounds:
Most popular selection: Isaac Bruce, WR (38%)
Correct Answer: Steven Jackson, RB (25%)
Jackson was a monster in 2006. 1528 rushing yards, 13 rushing TDs, 90 receptions, 806 receiving yards, 3 TDs. Pro Bowl and 2nd Team All Pro.
Most popular selection: Todd Gurley (83%)
Correct Answer: Todd Gurley (83%)
The Rams offense was pretty anemic from 2011-2015 but the lone bright spot was Todd Gurley in his rookie year. Gurley rushed for 1100 yards and 10 TDs en route to Offensive Rookie of the Year and 2nd Team All Pro. With two starting FLEX spots, Gurley grabs the first one.
