  • I remember that game. A friend and I watched it at the old Quinns Pub on Lakeshore Blvd in Euclid.. Mack carried the team that day.

  • Gipper, I think I have that game in full on DVD courtesy of MarkO. I'm pretty sure it's that game - I'll have to make a copy and send it to you or pack it in my case when I come back for the playoffs.

    Tailgate loving, Steelers hating, Trans-Atlantic Browns fan. Annually disappointed since '88. Annually optimistic since '88. GO BROWNS!

  • I was there. Snowing like a motherfucker. Packed house. One of my fondest memories as a Browns fan. Clay Mathews was a beast that game.

    Uh, the game I referenced was in the Astrodome. No snow in sight. You must be thinking of another.

    It very well may have been. It was a night game.

    Yea, I found this game's highlights, from the previous 1988 WC game.....lost by Browns at home. But I couldn't find the 1989 final regular season game.

    Yeah, you're thinking of the season finale where Don Strock had to come in, and we rallied for a 28-23 win to put us in the playoffs.

    Then, we hosted the Oilers the next weekend in a playoff game, and effing Jerry Markbreit ruined our Christmas Eve with one of the worst calls in NFL history. Warren Moon threw a lateral to Haywood Jeffires around the Houston 5. It fell incomplete and Clay Matthews recovered it. Markbreit disallowed the recovery, said the whistle blew and killed the play.

    Perhaps you old-timers remember that game-Earnest Byner committed I think 3 personal fouls. That, combined with the prior year's "Fumble," lead to his trade to Washington-yikes.

    Indeed he did. I think Mack came back from a drug suspension, and the last drive the Browns just kept feeding it to him, he would not be denied.

    I also think this game had the infamous lateral by Clay Matthews to Big Daddy Hairston- it nearly cost them the game.

    Three personal fouls? I only remember one......and it was a total bullshit call.....but it did help the Oilers win that game.
