The looser is Chuck Howley in Super Bowl V, the Blooper Bowl.  Howley had two interceptions in the losing effort.

The co-MVPs were Harvey Martin and Randy White, also from the Cowboys.

Those three add to the tally of defensive MVP’s.

Correct to both of those BC!  
So 4 of the defensive players are Howley, Martin, White, & Ray Lewis. Of the other 6, there are one each from the '70s, '80s, '90s, & '00s and 2 from the'10s. Some are well known, but a couple are pretty obscure (at least to me).

One has to be somebody from the Bears. Know they didn't give it to Payton. Ditka let Fridge score, but not Walter. Shameful.

Didn't a returner win the award once?

Bingo!
The remaining 5 defensive MVPs are (from most recent to oldest): a Bronco LB (likely future HoFer); a Seahawk LB; a Buccaneer CB; a Cowboy CB; and a Dolphin safety.

Bronco linebacker has to be Von Miller.
For the Seahawks, I would have guessed Cam Chancellor, but he’s not a linebacker.

Bill Russell was renowned as the best center in the NBA, and a rebounding specialist above all. His rival, Wilt Chamberlain was derided as a mere scorer.

Who led the NBA in rebounds more, Russell or Wilt? Russell played 13 years, Wilt played 14.

Wilt led 11 times, including 7 of his last 8 seasons. Russell led five times.

Their career rebounding averages were virtually identical, Wilt (22.9 rpg) led barely over Russell (22.5 rpg).

Not an NL team - many changed their nicknames multiple times in the early days of the league - my favorite is the Brooklyn Bridegrooms.  Of the AL teams, only NY, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago could be the answer.  Of those, I believe Detroit is the only one not to have changed their nickname.  The Yankees were the Highlanders, the Red Sox were the Americans, the Guardians were the Indians and the White Sox were the White Stockings.

Well, according to twitter, the answer was the Philadelphia Phillies, but Wikipedia will say that the Phillies used to be known as the Philadelphia Quakers, so I’m not sure about this.

It’s mascot was something else…
