Not what you're looking for in this thread I know,  but my favorite Browns vs Raiders trivia was when I was at the LA Coliseum in '93 and watched Eric Metcalf take the pitch from Vinny and high step into the end zone as time expired to complete the Browns' furious comeback......  Still the best football game I have ever seen in person.  https://www.si.com/vault/1993/09/27/129400/unbeaten-unbelievable-how-can-the-cleveland-browns-be-3-0-and-how-about-that-vinny-testaverde

[Dutch Oven]

I remember that play like yesterday... When they handed off to Metcalf I screamed: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WE HAVE NO TIMEOUTS!" because if he got tackled, the game would be over.

Then he scored, and I was all like: "Hey, good call." 😁

Nice questions Gip.

6.  Name the two players that made the Pro Bowl as a Raider that also played for the Browns?   Was one Lyle Alzado? Always likdd him.

7. I can tell you that their nickname almost was the Senors, which would have been so, so bad. I had to look up the city because I never knew that the franchise almost went to another city. (Since I looked it up, I won't say what city). Apparently the only reason it was given to Oakland was because the owner of the Los Angeles (and then San Diego the next season) Chargers threatened to rescind his ownership offer if the AFL did not put another team in California.

12.. Two Raiders players have won NFL Comeback Player of the Year.   Name them.

Several possibilities come to mind but I'll try 1. Plunkett and 2. Lyle Alzado again, he was always banging around in there.
