Question:
After a turnover, the Steelers scored the first points on a Jeff Reed 37-yard field goal.  Brian Westbrook left the game with an ankle injury early in the second quarter, but Correll Buckhalter finished the drive with a 20-yard touchdown catch.  The touchdown was the 176th for Donovan McNabb, surpassing Ron Jaworski on the franchise list.  The Philadelphia defense began to take over at this point, sacking Roethlisberger six times in the quarter.  A fumble recovery by Brodrick Bunkley after a sack led to a David Akers field goal.  Pittsburgh would end the half with Reed kicking a 53-yard field goal to make it 10-6.  Without Westbrook, the Eagles' offense struggled to score, but the defense continued to shut down the Steelers.  An intentional grounding penalty on Roethlisberger from his own end zone resulted in a safety.  A diving sack and fumble recovery by Brian Dawkins led to a field goal and sealed the win, giving the Eagles a 15-6 lead.  The defense sacked Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich nine times, forced two fumbles, and intercepted a pass.  Punter Sav Rocca also contributed to the second-half shutout with his punts.  The Eagles improved to 2-1 with the win.

How many more games had the Eagles won after this game than they had lost?

Answer:
1


Question:
The Houston Texans joined the league at the 2002 NFL season, playing at the newly founded Reliant Stadium.  With their opening game victory over the Dallas Cowboys that season, the team became the first expansion team to win its opening game since the Minnesota Vikings beat the Chicago Bears in 1961.  While the team struggled in early seasons, results began to improve once native Houstonian Gary Kubiak became the head coach in 2006. The Texans finished with a .500 season (8-8) in both 2007 and 2008, and nearly qualified for the 2009-10 NFL playoffs with a 9-7 result in 2009. In 2010, the team started the season on a 4-2 record going into a Week 7 bye week, but promptly collapsed 2-8 in the second part of the season, finishing 6-10. In the 2011 NFL Draft, the Texans acquired Wisconsin Badgers football star defensive end J.J. Watt eleventh overall. The following season, former Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips was hired as the defensive coordinator of the Texans, and the improved defense led to the Texans finishing 10-6, winning their first AFC South title. The Texans then beat wild card Cincinnati Bengals 31-10 in the first round of the 2011-12 NFL playoffs, before a 20-13 defeat by the Ravens in the semifinals.

How many years passed between the most recent time an expansion team won their first game, and the last time that occured?

Answer:
41


Question:
At the same time, the Dutch organized incursions against the Portuguese possessions in Africa in order to take control of the slave trade and complete the trade triangle that would ensure the economic prosperity of New Holland. In 1626, a Dutch expedition to take Elmina was almost wiped out in an ambush by the Portuguese, but in 1637, Elmina fell to the Dutch. In 1641 , the Dutch captured the island of São Tomé and before the end of 1642, the rest of Portuguese Gold Coast followed. In August 1641 the Dutch formed a three-way alliance with the Kingdom of Kongo and Queen Nzinga of Ndongo, and with their assistance captured Luanda and Benguela, though without preventing the Portuguese from retreating inland into strongholds like Massangano, Ambaca and Muxima. With a steady source of slaves now secure, the Dutch abstained from further action, presuming that their allies would suffice against the Portuguese. Nonetheless, lacking artillery and firearms, Queen Nzinga and the Kongo proved unable to decisively defeat the Portuguese and their cannibalistic Imbangala allies.

How many years after their first attempt did the Dutch take Elmina?

Answer:
11
