Cleveland Browns Flashback Friday: Turkey Jones slams Terry Bradshaw

One of the scariest moments in the history of the Cleveland Browns-Steelers rivalry came when Joe "Turkey" Jones sacked future Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw in Week 5 of the 1976 season. In some ways it channels the recent dispute between Mason Rudolph of the Steelers, who experienced great unhappiness after being tackled by Myles Garrett of the Browns.

It did not come on Thanksgiving weekend, but it did involve 250 pounds of turkey, in the form of Browns defensive end Turkey Jones. He received that nickname because he is the only player in Browns history to fall for the fake turkey gag two years in a row.
