1950 - Browns With Without Passing
After the Cleveland Browns, in their first NFL game, beat the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, 35-10, Philadelphia coach Greasy Neale criticized them for passing too much. In a rainy rematch, the Browns didn't throw a single pass but still beat the Eagles, 13-7.
