Browns won without throwing a pass, Randall Cunningham uncorked a 91-yard punt, and Butch Reynolds won $27 million; yet to see any of it - This DiSH for Dec. 3

In 1950, the Cleveland Browns beat the Philadelphia Eagles without throwing a single pass. It's the last time an NFL team has gone an entire game without a pass attempt.

In 1950, LA Ram WR Tom Fears caught 18 passes to set a new NFL record. It was not broken for another 50 years.

In 1950, Detroit Lion Cloyce Box had 12 catches for 302 yards and 4 TDs. His 302 yards receiving came up just a yard short of tying the previous record.

In 1989, Philadelphia Eagle Randall Cunningham, usually the QB, stepped in as the punter and boomed a 91-yarder.

In 1992, US sprinter Butch Reynolds was awarded $27 million in a suit against the IAAF but to this day has not seen a penny of it.

In 1967, golfer Marty Fleckman won his first PGA Tour event in his first professional start. He never won again.
