On December 24, 1950 the Cleveland Browns met the Los Angeles Rams at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland in one of the greatest football games ever played. The Browns who had just finished its first season in the National Football League after spending their first four years in the All-American Football Conference, were lead by future Hall of Famer Otto Graham. The Rams who had just finished its fifth season in Los Angeles after being founded in Cleveland, were lead by Bob Waterfield who himself wasa future Hall of Famer.
In the first quarter the Rams jumped off to a 14-0 lead before the Browns were able to score a touchdown of their own. In the second quarter the Browns lone score pulled them within one point of the Rams at the half. The Browns scored first in the third quarter to give them their first lead of the game before the Rams came storming back with two touchdowns to grab a 28-20 lead with but one quarter left to play. From here it was all Browns, a touchdown and a field goal sealed the game for the Browns.
The two teams would met again for the championship the following year in Los Angeles. Tomorrow we look at another great football game.
