      2. Who was the Browns leading rusher the year before they acquired Jim Brown?

      3. In which season did the Browns win their most regular season games?

      Who succeeded Vinny as the Raven primary starting QB?

      6. Even though it was Trent Dilfer who QBed the Ravens in the Super Bowl in 2000, Dilfer was not the primary starting QB for the Ravens that year. Who was? (i.e. someone else started more games and threw for more yards than Dilfer)

      7. In 2008 Joe Flacco was the Ravens first round draft pick and Ray Rice was their second round draft pick. Who...familar to Browns fans, was their 3rd round draft pick that year?

      I CARE....

      1. Who was the last quarterback to lead the Browns to a title?

      Dr. Frank Ryan

      2. Who was the Browns leading rusher the year before they acquired Jim Brown?

      Preston Carpenter.... he moved to WR when Brown came to the team.... and was a decent WR...

      3. In which season did the Browns win their most regular season games?

      The '48 AAFC Browns won 14... As for the NFL, the '86 edition Kardiac Kids' 12 is tops...

      4. What is the Browns all time record vs. The Ravens?

      twice a year for 14 years (except maybe the lockout year?)... say 27 games...

      I'll guess 6 - 21

      5. Vinny Testaverde went from being the Browns starting QB in 1995 to being the Ravens QB for two years when that team was formed, and his contract assigned to the newly formed Ravens franchise.

      Who succeeded Vinny as the Raven primary starting QB?

      Jim Harbaugh

      6. Even though it was Trent Dilfer who QBed the Ravens in the Super Bowl in 2000, Dilfer was not the primary starting QB for the Ravens that year. Who was? (i.e. someone else started more games and threw for more yards than Dilfer)

      Tony Banks

      7. In 2008 Joe Flacco was the Ravens first round draft pick and Ray Rice was their second round draft pick. Who...familar to Browns fans, was their 3rd round draft pick that year?

      ???

      8. Eight people who have won the Heisman Trophy have alse been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Simply name the 8 people.

      Paul Hornung - Roger Stabach - O.J. Simpson - Marcus Allen - Earl Campbell - and 3 other guys

      9. Who holds the Browns record for most receiving yards in a game?

      Gonna guess Ozzie... I think he got close to 200 once...

      10. Who holds the Browns record for most rushing yards in a game?

      Harrison and his near-300-yard, miracle game...

      11. Which NFL team scored 41 points in a game....but lost that game by 31 points?

      ???

      12. RGIII/Luck/Wilson all had outstanding rookie seasons....but which rookie QB was the last rookie QB to lead the NFL in TD passes?

      Marino?

      Bonus: When you combine both regular season and post season games, which NFL team has the highest winning percentage?

      I'd guess Baltimore Ravens.

        Which Ravens QB? There were 2 questions about Ravens QBs.

        But...Oh Well... Grbac isn't the answer to either.

                    Was the rookie QB "Slingin'" Sammy Baugh?

                    ...and my math is fine thank you... 😛 ...I deducted one game for the lock-out year... but maybe we played two in division in that bastardized schedule.

                    Oh... and I thought of a Browns bit of trivia for you, Gip...

                    Who was the last Brown to "play both ways" for us...

                    Hint: Kinda a trick question...
