The Day The Browns Crafted A Playbook Entirely Out Of Spite
Cleveland had a point to prove.
The Cleveland Browns' victory over the Eagles on December 3, 1950, marked a changing of the guard. The Browns, in their first year in the NFL, beat the Eagles for the second time that year, eliminating them from the playoffs.
The Eagles had won the two previous championships and were the flagship of the league. The Browns' 13-7 win at Cleveland Stadium was notable for another reason: it remains the last time an NFL team won without recording an official pass attempt.
The weather was not conducive to an air raid, with rain and wind, as snow continued to melt from the Thanksgiving Blizzard.
No official pass attempt was recorded in the game.
Author's summary: Browns won without a pass attempt.
