After week 12 of the 1970 NFL season, following a victory against the Houston Oilers on Monday Night Football, for some reason, the Browns thought it would be a good idea to hold practice immediately after getting off the plane from their red-eye flight. It went about as poorly as you'd expect, both from a quality of the practice standpoint, and a "help them to get ready for the game" standpoint. This is the story behind the worst practice in Cleveland Browns history

@@Fireyninjadog The Browns seemed to win games on muscle memory in 1972-'73, not quite what they were but still managing to be competitive. They rebounded by the end of the decade and into 1980, later experienced a lull, then experienced the peak of the Bernie Kosar era. I don't remember the rest🙄.

Loved this video. I was thinking a coach who was upset about his team's performance might force them to practice the day after a game, but you laid out perfectly why that's a horrible idea. Also, I loved how you worked in the QB rating of 39.6 and how you knowingly adjusted your catch phrase.

6-2 is one of the saddest final scores I've ever heard of (in the modern era). Cleveland's defense was actually able to, all things considered, come through with a decent performance on the scoreboard. If the defense is holding your rivals to just a pair of field goals, all the offense needs to do to get the win is score one single touchdown.

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made videos about the following: 1. A Monday Night game in Houston two years earlier that was the “prequel” to the “Heidi Game”. 2. The lucky penny that sustained the Bengals turnaround in 1970. 3. Another Browns plane trip from Houston to Cleveland in 1980.

To be fair, games lasted 2 1/2 hours in 1970 because the clock would start on a change of possession when the ball was spotted unless it went out of bounds.

This Browns team featured a Quarterback that shares my name and spelling, William Nelsen, although he went by Bill and I go by Willie. And of course our middle names are not the same either, but its still funny and the less common way to spell Nelson. Of course there is the country singer I get bugged about sometimes but his is spelled the common way.

Those Browns didn't learn the lesson from the 1948 Browns who played three games from November 21 to November 28. Rest was the key. Nov. 21 New York Yankees, Nov. 25 L.A. Dons and Nov. 28 San Fran 49ers. Not good traveling conditions back then either. They won all three games. Maybe Paul Brown didn't tell Blanton Collier about that when he left.
