    Here is today's Question:    Pro-Football-Reference  produces a statistic known as the Career Average, or Career Production Average, which supposedly measures every players production throughout their careers, and on a season basis.    They actually have ONLY produced this stat going back to like 1960.  So, today's question is:

    Name the Top 12 Cleveland Browns who produced the most in their careers....with the Browns.... since about 1960 per the  Career Production Average.   Answers:

    1. Clay Matthews   124

    2. Jim Brown  122

    3. Dick Shafrath  115

    4. Gene Hickerson  111

    5. Joe Thomas  106

    6. Leroy Kelley  102

    7. Doug Dieken  92

    8. Brian Sipe  88

    9. Gary Collins  87

    t10. Hanford Dixon  80

    t10. Jim Houston   80

    t10. Frank Ryan  80

    After this top dozen,  other Top 25 Browns are in this order:

      13.  Walter Johnson 14. Michael Dean Perry  15. Greg Pruitt  16. Cody Risien  17. Clarence Scott  18. Ozzie Newsome   19....fittingly:  Bernie Kosar  20. Warfield  21.  Minniefield  22. Cockroft  23. Sherk  24. Darden  25. Mike Pruitt. 

    To my view, this just shows how pathetic the talent acquisition for the Browns has been for the past 20 years......ONLY  Joe Thomas is on this list of the 25 most productive Browns since 1960.     So...for  35 years....from 1960 to 1995  24 of these players are from that era.  For 20 years since 1999....only ONE player. 

    In fact, after Joe Thomas,  not another player appears in the Top 50 most productive Browns of all time until you get to  DQwell Jackson at #40,  and then Orpheus Roye at #47 is the only other Brown in that Top 50.....and remember...that Top 50 does NOT include any of the players from the dynasty years of the 40s and 50s.

    Check.    All AFC teams named.   (counting Tits/Oilers as one franchise..since the league does)

    Two  current NFC teams to go.

    The Browns lost to the Vikings in the 1970 Championship game 27-7. If they would have won, they would have played in Super Bowl III vs KC.

    Wondering if the other team is the Cowboys.

    You are right.  Don't know how I missed that.

    There are still 2 other teams.   Well...one other....Cowboys is right. 

    (Note...this says 'in the history of the Cleveland Browns)

    Here is today's trivia Question....plus a bonus:

    Twelve players in NFL history have rushed for over  250 yards in a single game.

    Name as many as you can.

    Bonus:  Only 3 players have rushed for 220 or more yards three or more times in their career.  Name these 3. 

    If you give a name...specify which category you are putting the player in.

    I remember Jerome Harrison having a monster game in his one good season. I think he's on the list.

    Adrian Peterson of course holds the record.

    I'll go out on a limb (not really) and say that OJ is on both lists. Probably Corey Dillon too. 

    I think Derrick Henry did it recently.

    I'd like to think Jim Brown did it at least once. Ditto Walter Payton.

    And I believe DeMarco Murray hit 250 like 7 or 8 years ago.

    But that's a good one.

    Jamal Lewis did it against us. I had the privilege of watching that one at a Sports Bar with A Rat Turd fan. 
     

    Some other guesses Priest Holmes.

    Eric Dickerson he had some huge games back in the day. 

    One potential obvious that did not is LT.  He did not have a 250 yard game I remember a halftime tribute to him at The Q. He had 200 yard games but nothing over 250

    Barry Sanders comes to mind as someone who ran for over 220 yards more than 3 times.

    Check on Lewis.  No on Dickerson and Holmes.  Dickerson had 248 in his best game.   As far as Holmes, there is a guy who I always got confused with Holmes that did do it.
