I was there. Like the announcer said, it was COLD. I had just turned 12-years-old, in 7th Grade. My Dad and I sat in the endzone, but it wasn't called the "Dog Pound" then. Ticket prices were outrageous, $7 or maybe even $8, I don't remember for sure. I think that Cleveland was a 13-point underdog. NFL was different back then. Many players had other jobs in the off season. Even Frank Ryan had a PhD in Math, and taught at Case Western Reserve (then Case Tech). I have stopped watching all professional sports in my old age, but I watched this video to remind me of "back in the day". Rock

This is what i grew up on I so wish the NFL could be like this again.

Gary Collins' finest hour...what a great game by he and QB Ryan.

2 of the top 5 greatest players to ever play this great game to this day. Yes, John Unitas and Jim Brown! 10/03/2022

To me, this was football. Mud and blood and heroic plays...God how I miss those days...

My grandfather called my dad the morning of this game with tickets. This was the only found memory dad shared with me about his dad.

My father took me to This Game! Started a lifetime of Browns Fandom❤️ 🏈 I was 5 and remember every minute of it! strange how lifelong memories happen! We sat next to a rather large woman that shared her Blanket with me and gave it to me for the walk out after the game. I still have that Blanket LOL! turns out it lost all it's good luck on the way out of downtown that day LOL

Initiated by Paul Brown (led Ohio St. to it's 1st national title in 1942) who was the greatest pro coach of all time the Browns were the most successful pro team during their 1st 25 years of existence. From 1946 to 1970 they had 1 losing season, played in 15 league title games & won 8 of them.

I was there. Great game. Great day. Very cold too. Let's do this again in 2019. Go Browns!

"He sat dazed and confused". = CONCUSSION.

This was the day I fell in love with the game of football.

The Mistake by The Lake never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early. This would be the old stadium's 2nd to last NFL Championship game. RIP.

Wish this was a super bowl win but this is when real men played football. Thank you cleveland browns for this 🏆 win.

May Jim Brown rest in peace. And may his loved ones be comforted and healed.

The wind was the 12th man for the Browns defense ... Unitas could never get untracked but the Browns secondary was superb ...

Awesome. The flood of great names and HOF names. Like how they focused on blocking here.

Gary Collins should be in Hall of Fame.

This is football....guys where tougher then, even thou athletes now are in better shape The wind here is the MVP, The Browns and Colts had some hard nosed players.....great job in the production of this film

THANK YOU. Junior in HS. I saw it on the radio.

Wow! Is that Chris Shenkel narrating? Been years since I heard that voice.

the closed end of the stadiums turf was a total mess ....but oh so cool .......... these films ........ BETTER THAN ANY GAME TODAY !!!!

OTTO GRAHAM, ONE OF THE BEST QUARTERBACKS OF ALL TIME.

god i wish the colts were still in baltimore

Considering the score, the biggest shocker of my lifetime.

I like how they have the field goal post with the Cleveland Browns team colors you’ll never see that with modern day NFL football it be so cool for the NFL to do that where they have the team is team colors for the field goal post all the time.

Lou Groza was 40 here? Dude looked 65! lol

that slo-mo was excruciating, but that was probably top technology back then lol

Great season for the Browns. The Colts won 12 of 14 that season.

Football and championships existed before the Super Bowl steeler fan

What is interesting is how many of these plays would result in penalties for unnecessary roughness today.

Terrible field conditions! Go Browns !

Some key names there. Monte Clark, Paul Wiggin went on to coach. Years ago missed out on meeting Wiggin up in Maine. He was staying next door to my parents. Damn. Thanks for posting. Almost forgot Chris Schenkel- great voice!

The 1964 Browns haven't gotten their props.Coach Collier should be in the PFHOF.

Gary Collins is a really good person.

TV commercials for the broadcast of the title game cost probably $5,000 for 60 seconds and were not the talk of the nation. Today’s Super Bowl viewers could not relate.

I was there and for sure it was COLD. I was also a student at Case Tech where Frank Ryan was a math prof.

"Johnny Unitas. Now there's a haircut you could set your watch to!..." Abe Simpson, watching SBIII, while his wife, Glenn Close silently lusts after long haired Joe Namath...😁

This was the last production of “Blair Motion Pictures” before it became NFL Films...John Facenda didn’t come along until 1966 (he was still doing the news for Channel 10 in Philadelphia, still a CBS affiliate at that time)

I loved the Browns in their all-white home unis. I read Bernie Parish's book and he said he felt they looked bigger than the Colts. The white, along with the orange helmets, really popped against the gray Northeast Ohio skies.

JIM BROWN, ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL TIME.

just terrific ......... thank u jstube36

JIM BROWN, ONE OF THE BEST RUNNING BACKS OF ALL TIME.

You can see the slope of the pitcher's mound! Unbelievable that they didn't remove it. 16:25

jim brown's first and only championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if jim brown was used MUCH MORE in the passing game they might have won another 1 or 2 championships !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Too much Gary Collins, what a day

I saw this game broadcast on TV from a Canadian station from Windsor Canada. It was very snowy pickup but except for a radio broadcast that was all that was available due to local blackout. It was Great !!!!

That was one freezing day. It was great to be a Clevelander. That wind whipping through the open horseshoe... Unbelievable to have seen Jim Brown, Lou Groza, Frank Ryan...

i was there..8 years old

Goodness, that was a long time ago. I was in high school when that game was played. I believe Gib Shanley was the voice of the Browns for radio and TV broadcasts back then. Seems to me he made a phonograph record of some of the key game plays; I think they called it "Return to Glory" or some such similar name.

RIP Jim Brown 🐐

Thanks so much for posting! I shared this with my dad who was at this game with my grandpa.

Fun Fact: Frank Ryan became Doctor Frank Ryan after completing his doctorate in mathematics while playing in the NFL.😃😃

My grandpa was at this game

Cleveland's last football championship. ☹

Loved seeing Warfield in a Brown's uniform. Another one of Modell's brilliant moves trading him to Shula in Miami to draft Mike Phipps, way to go Art

Man, if there was ever a face to define the NFL, it would have to be Gino Marchetti's...those cold eyes staring down many a left OT.

Cleveland in its days of glory.

I watched this game on TV in 1964. Black an white TV

"Happiness is a team called the Cleveland Browns". One day we will return

I've heard of slow motion, but that was sloooooooooooowwwww motion

58 Years Ago. Let Hope 2022 BROWNS NATION TURN IT ON 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

Great video!!!!!🏈🏈🏈🏈

All I remember was the Colts were favored and shut out. Watching these highlights leads me to believe the game was an awfully lot closer then the score would indicate, however, because the Colts got so many bad breaks, particularly bad bounces. I don’t want to take anything away from Cleveland, however, because bad breaks are part of the game. Every time I see old films with Shinnick in them I Am reminded that he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

I remember watching this game as a 14 year old . The colts were heavy favorites but got shut out . Oddly enough 5 years later the Colts with many of the same players in another championship game also heavily favored would score only 7 points in Super Bowl 3 the biggest upset ever . This Colt team would score only 7 points in 2 Championship games .

Leroy Kelly a H O F running back made a tackle on a kickoff? Did he play offense and defense? Was there something called special teams back then ?

I grown up watching the Cleveland Browns that was the only football team in Ohio

Muddy frozen grass covered in snow, more wind, heavier equipment (including metal cleats), less protective equipment, and looser rules... I think a lot of the players today would not have done as well back then as they think.

I was there too Rock... I was 13 with my 24 yo older brother. Will never forget how cold it was... We were offered $50 right outside the stadium for our seats in the upper deck about the 40... I wanted to sell and go home. Yeah, I can say I was there, but I still don't know if my brother made the right call. Just too cold. Anyway, I'm posting cause I've lived in Bucks County outside of Philly for past 10 years and root for Philly in the NFC. Ya'll in Cleveland would love this Eagles team if you were here. The team commitment and effort. The calm strong leadership of Jalen Hurts. The outstanding play selection and execution of the O and D lines. It's poetry in motion. Watch an Eagles hype video if you can.. And Go Brownies Woof Woof... ..and please please..fix the middle of that D...

Look at field conditions... way better shape in todays game...i love the blocking back then... cuttin people all day long. Its good funfamental football

At the end newly retired Frank Gifford interviewing Blanton Collier , the Cleveland coach for CBS . His Giants team had just played the Browns just weeks before .

Nothing against Chris Schenkel,who was a great broadcaster.John Faccenda was THE voice of NFL films.

MY BIRTHDAY 1964 Browns last Championship 🖤✊let's do it this year 2020✊🖤✊🖤✊🖤🐢🐢🐢🙏

Back when I was a Browns fan in High School...now days 'WHO DEY' ?

I WONDER IF THIS WAS THE ONLY NFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO BE PLAYED WITH A BASEBALL FIELD ON THE FIELD OF PLAY? CRAZY TO THINK THAT A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN DECEMBER WOULD STILL HAVE A PITCHERS MOUND ON IT! Gary Collins first and second touchdowns were caught near and on the pitchers mound! I think we need to put a mound in our current and new stadiums in the endzone and choose or defer to that enzone in both halves LOL

RIP Jim Brown

The narrator is Chris Schenkel.

Cleveland browns last world championship victory

Paul Warfield was only a rookie back in ‘64..who could have known then that he would become a 3x NFL Champion and Hall of Famer

the tackle on jim brown at the 5 minute mark .......... holy cow !

As noted this was not an NFL Films production - but note that Ed Sabol, the founder of NFL Films was the executive producer. Besides missing the voice of John Facenda, it is also missing the familiar NFL Films music - but better in my view than the marching music used in this film. Final point - the script writer was Tex Maule, a Sports Illustrated writer and primary detractor of the AFL, forced to eat crow after SB’s 3 and 4.

One day... One day...

Jim Brown the greatest!

In the Australian AFL, Melbourne demons won the premiership the same year. They broke the drought in 2021. Keep your heads up Cleveland fans. These droughts do end

GET WOKE, GO BROKE!

Found it interesting that from 1933 to its last year in 1969 before the merger, the NFL had the championship games home field based on a rotation basis. One year the team from the the Eastern division (or Conference, they used different names over those years) would host it, the next year the Western. Won-loss records didn't matter. The AFL did the same for their 10 years from 1960-69. Here the Colts had the better record but had to go on the road. Could it have made a difference? Who can say. Even in the first few years after the merger, the AFC and NFC still had playoff games home field based on a rotation system. I think finally in '75 they had it where the team with the better record got the home game, period. Never understood that. Then it surfaced again years later when they added more wildcard teams and then went to 4 divisions per Conference, but that's another story altogether.

That Jim brown is pretty good 👍

"Written by Tex Maule" If that isnt an old school NFL Name I don't know what is

Yeah, in a way, this is real football, the kind I grew up with. Mud, dirt, no plastic grass. Guys getting hit hard time and again. Basic playbooks with limited but effective plays. BUT it's a lot more exciting game to watch today.

I just noticed the Brownie logo on the back of the player's long warm-ups.... the same logo they have today on the 50yrd line

What no one knows? what wasnt said was? The Football Gods had bet the Colts, and were getting 6 points. And since that day the Football Gods vowed. Cleveland Browns will never be World Champions again.

Muddy, cold, snow overflowing urinals REAL FOOTBALL@MUNICIPAL STADIUM..................THE GOOD OLD DAYS !!!!!!!!!

Those born in the 1970's would think the Browns were just dopey. They wouldn't have known that The Browns had a championship team all those years ago. 1930's 40's 1950's 1960's

Unitas got roughed up.

This would be the last NFL Championship game to be broadcast in black and white and to be played in the month of December.

Jim Brown's personal middle finger to Paul Brown.

Where's the 5 hour pre-game show?

I wish they could have played Buffalo with Cookie Gilchrist

21:02 That was clearly a Jim Brown touchdown he broke the plane.

Many people get on the Cleveland Browns for not having played in a Super Bowl (unless we consider the Ravens a continuation of the original Browns but that's another argument for another time) but let's not forget that the Browns are the only expansion team in NFL history to win a league championship back in 1950. Yes, I know that the Browns along with the 49ers were members of the AAFC which lasted from 1946-49 (the only two to join the NFL when the other league suspended operations) but they won every AAFC championship ever played and then made the NFL finals in their first six years after joining that league. OK so that was 70-some years ago but it shows that the Browns are not the worst team in the league. For that, we should look at Detroit or Arizona.

Until his Miami Dolphins enjoyed a perfect season in 1972, Don Shula had a rough time in the post season. He lost this game and his Colts lost to the Packers in 1965. Shula's Colts lost to the Jets in historic Super Bowl 3, perhaps the biggest upset in post season NFL history, and Miami lost to Dallas in the Super Bowl following the 1971 regular season. Not only that, Baltimore was undefeated going into the last game of the 1967 regular season, lost to the Rams, and missed the post season!
