ORIGINAL: MrrPete Trivia Question: Name the team that played the previous years NFL champion witout throwing a pass.....and won. quote:
Dec. 3 Pro football 1950: The Cleveland Browns, in their first year in the National Football League, have a score to settle: After the Browns defeated the Eagles in the season opener, Philadelphia coach Greasy Neale criticized Cleveland for not running the ball and continually throwing passes. Otto Graham, who passed for three touchdowns and a remarkable 346 yards in the Browns' 35-10 opening-game victory, tries only one pass today -- and it's nullified by a man in motion penalty. Playing on a muddy Cleveland field in a hard rain, the Browns manage just 68 yards on the ground and only one first down. But they get the last laugh as they register a 13-7 victory, eliminating the two-time defending champions from a possible playoff berth. The Eagles attempt 23 passes, completing eight for 81 yards. The Browns score on a 30-yard interception return by Warren Lahr on the game's fourth play and two Lou Groza field goals. This is the last time an NFL team has played a game without throwing a pass Google is my friend. [:D]
