Today we’re remembering the AFC Divisional Round Cleveland Browns Overtime Victory over the New York Jets, most commonly referred to as ‘The Marathon By The Lake.’ Browns Quarterback Bernie Kosar threw for 489 yards in the 4 hour plus contest, a playoff passing yardage record he held until 2017. Who broke Bernie’s Record?
The Browns last Playoff Home game just happened to be another famous Nickname Game in Cleveland history:
The infamous ‘Red Right 88’ game played six years earlier against the Oakland Raiders back on 1-4-1981.
With the Marathon victory over NY, perhaps an even more popular Nickname game came to be the following week. Any guesses on that one?? Hint: 98 yards
