m (I uploaded the ROM to TCRF but I'm not the source, it was included in a few ROM sets out there. Might be better renamed to Quarter Back Scramble since this seems to be before Accolade got their hands on the game?)
(The iNES header isn't part of the actual game data, it's only added to the file after the fact to work on emulators, thus this isn't a real difference.)
