NFL Game of the Week

Detroit Lions at Cleveland Browns, 1969 (5x3)

: 11, 1969

For 20 years, the Cleveland Browns had been among the NFL's elite teams. When they met the Detroit Lions on October 5, 1969 in Cleveland Municipal Stadium, the Browns were 2-0. But the Browns had a failing: except for the 1954 NFL Championship and one game late in 1964, the Browns could not beat the Lions. This the Lions exploited in the second half of a 28-21 comeback win.
