In 1964, the Cleveland Browns won the NFL Championship. The win would be the franchise’s eighth pro football championship. That year they were pitted against the Baltimore Colts who were favored to win by 17 points. Instead, a steady defense swamped the NFL’s best offense and limited Colts superstar QB Johnny Unitas to just 89-yards passing.
In the thick of that defensive standoff was DE Bill Glass.
Glass was traded to the Browns prior to the 1962 season in a multi-player transaction which included sending Cleveland QB Milt Plum along with running back Tom Watkins and LB Dave Lloyd to the Detroit Lions.
