Cleveland Sports Trivia

I'll throw one out there. When was the last time that the Browns won a road playoff game?

1969 @ Dallas

Got beat by Vikings to go to the Super Bowl in the next game.

Good job. The Browns have 16 playoff wins, but only 3 on the road.

This season, Jarvis Landry caught a TD, ran for a TD, and threw a TD. Who was the last Browns player to do all three in the same season?

I’ll take a guess on Greg Pruitt, second guess Eric Metcalf.

Baker 2 years ago?

EDIT: I think his catch was actually for a 2pt conversion.

Metcalf in 1989.

Yeah, Baker's catch was 2pt conversion.

Dennis Northcutt? I’d should’ve been Cribbs, but god forbid they get creative. I can’t believe he never threw for a TD

It was Metcalf.

Here’s my two cents worth for today:

- What Indians knuckleballer appeared in the 2001 film 61*, playing Yankees pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm?

- What member of the Browns Ring of Honor didn’t miss a game during his NFL career, appearing in 185 consecutive - including 73 straight with the Browns? (spelling counts 😆)

Tom Candiotti?

Clay Matthews?

I forgot about that.  I must’ve just put it out of my mind.

Ironman92: you have Candiotti right

“Spelling counts” on the lineman is kind of a clue.  And so is “lineman”. 

Nino Benvenuti.

The First half of that game (Original CBS Broadcast) is on youtube. It's very good. Have no idea where the Second half is.

Oh, and as a kid THAT was the first professional football game that I'd paid attention to. For some very weird reason I remember that when it was over me and friends went to an empty lot across the street and played some tackle football.

Go Browns!

Joe delamilure (I'm sure that I spelled it wrong).

Yes you have it right.  I don’t think I could spell his last name correctly, either, without looking.

DeLamielleure........whew!
