1. What is the head to head record between the Browns and the Texans over the short history?

2. What Head Coach of the Texans was also a HC for the Browns?

3. What QB that lead the Texans in passing one year also led the Browns in passing one year?

4. What 2 RBs who lead the Texans in rushing for a year also played for the Browns. (played for, but did not lead the Browns in rushing)

5. Who is the Texans owner?

6. Back in like 2001 or 2002, the Texans played the very first game of their existence, and WON! Who did they beat?

7. What is the Texans mascot's name?

8. What Heisman Trophy winning QB now does color commentary on the Texans radio broadcasts?

9. How many other professional football teams have used the name "Texans"

10. Who was asked for their daughter's hand in marriage while attending a Browns/Texans game?

The Gipper

Don't know why no one made an effort here. Pure laziness I guess:

1. What is the head to head record between the Browns and the Texans over the short history?

Now, after the game, the Texans lead the series 7 games to 4 for the Browns.

2. What Head Coach of the Texans was also a HC for the Browns?

Romeo Crennell.

3. What QB that lead the Texans in passing one year also led the Browns in passing one year?

Brian Hoyer

4. What 2 RBs who lead the Texans in rushing for a year also played for the Browns. (played for, but did not lead the Browns in rushing)

Carlos Hyde, and Ben Tate

5. Who is the Texans owner?

Janice McNair, widow of original owner Bob McNair.

6. Back in like 2001 or 2002, the Texans played the very first game of their existence, and WON! Who did they beat?

The Dallas Cowboys

7. What is the Texans mascot's name?

Toro

8. What Heisman Trophy winning QB now does color commentary on the Texans radio broadcasts?

Andre Ware who played at the Univ. of Houston

9. How many other professional football teams have used the name "Texans"

At least 4: Dallas Texans of the NFL who played one year: 1952; Dallas Texans of the AFL, who became the Kansas City Chiefs; San Antonio Texans of the CFL; and the Houston Texans of the WFL.

It is why the current franchise are called the DumbAss Texans, because people in Texas apparently have little to no imagination when it comes to team names.

10. Who was asked for their daughter's hand in marriage while attending a Browns/Texans game?

That would be me.....December 2018.

You were. And Bedford Falls is based on Seneca Falls NY.

And Pottsville PA had the Maroons. And that town to this day claims they should have been granted the 1925 NFL title...and I think their claim is justified.

There had been some talk of reviving that name for the WTFs...you know Washington Team Football. But apparently that has been rejected.

So far y'all have gotten exactly -0-

On December 6, 1925, a young football team called the Pottsville Maroons crushed the Chicago Cardinals in what was widely considered to be the 1925 NFL championship game. The Maroons were only playing their first season in the fledgling National Football League, but they had already taken the league by storm, racking up a 9-2 record. The Chicago Cardinals were 9-1-1 heading into the showdown with the Maroons. At the time, the NFL did not have an official championship game. The 1925 championship was simply awarded to the team with the highest win percentage at the end of the season, and Pottsville was clearly the champion.

Despite finishing the 1925 season with the best record in the NFL, however, the small town of Pottsville was not awarded a league title. Because the Maroons scheduled an illegal game shortly after winning the title, the 1925 trophy went to the Chicago Cardinals, the second place team in the NFL. The controversy over this "stolen" crown is a major source of contention between Pennsylvania and the NFL to this day.

The Maroons' trophy (carved out ofanthracite coal), made by surviving team members in 1964 and now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame^[1]

The 1925 National Football League (NFL) Championship, claimed by the Chicago Cardinals, has long been the subject of controversy. The controversy centers on the suspension of the Pottsville Maroons by NFL commissioner Joseph Carr, which prevented them from taking the title.

The Maroons were one of the dominant teams of the 1925 season, and after defeating the Chicago Cardinals 21–7 on December 6, came away with the best record in the league. However, Carr suspended and removed the team from the NFL after they played an unauthorized exhibition game in Philadelphia, on the grounds that they had violated the territorial rights of the Frankford Yellow Jackets. Chicago played and won two more games against weak NFL opponents, but were sanctioned because a Chicago player, Art Folz, hired four Chicago high school football players to play for the Milwaukee Badgers under assumed names to ensure a Cardinals victory.

Pottsville supporters argue that the suspension was illegitimate because the League did not then grant exclusive territory rights and that, in any event, they had verbal League approval to play the game in Philadelphia. Further, they argue that the Maroons, who were reinstated the next year, would have had the best record had they not been suspended. Others claim that Chicago was the legitimate champion based on the rules of the time. In 1963, the NFL investigated and rejected Pottsville's case, and in 2003 refused to reopen the case. Both the NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame continue to list the Cardinals as the 1925 NFL champions.^[2]^[3]
