How Was This Game Created?
So…how did this game come about? Lets here directly from the founders of QB54 brothers Michael and Frank Silva.
“We grew up in New Jersey and ever since we can remember, we created our own games to entertain ourselves and have fun. These were the days when kids actually went outside to play! QB54 actually started out when we were 9 and 12 years old using 2 garbage cans. We called it “The QB Thanksgiving Classic”.
During Thanksgiving all of our friends left to go visit family. That left just the 2 of us watching football on TV. We got bored pretty easily and were itching to play football. But how can you play football with 2 people? Ah, with garbage cans! Our parents thought we were crazy but we thought we were geniuses. So we set up the cans and started throwing, and throwing and throwing trying to get it in the garbage can.
We’re now in our 40’s and we’re still throwing. Last year our families met up in Georgia where Frank lives for Thanksgiving together. While sitting around chatting in the living room, Frank says, “Thanksgiving Classic?” And within a heartbeat we are outside throwing the football like we did when we were kids As we’re playing, his neighbor comes by and we end up playing for 3 hours straight!
After the neighbor left, I looked at Frank and said “We need to do something about this!” Frank came up with the genius idea of using the chair to incorporate it into the game for a dual purpose, and QB54 was born. People always asks, what’s the “54” for, and we say the first team to 54 wins. Next question why 54? And we say, why not! We pulled that number out of the air, it just felt right, and as it turns out we find most games end exactly on 54 for some reason.” Order Yours Now!

Hail Mary:
Team losing at 54 or greater have one chance at redemption.
