No, I remembered all those details correctly (but I DID check them just to be sure). I was a 16-year-old sports fanatic kid who lived through a very tense season and went to all the home games. A lot of the details, especially the championship game were seared, I tell you, seared into my memory. No one thought the Browns would shut down Unitas and the Colts.
One game that sticks in my head is a 33-33 tie with the St. Louis Cardinals. No overtime back then. We ended the year edging the Cardinals out for first place.
Warfield did play for the Dolphins and did great with them.
I remember Johnny Unitas. He played in hightop cleats, didn’t he? The Colts were a powerhouse. I have no recollection of the Browns doing so well then, but I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the NFL then.
