I remember when the Lions dude threw like 7 INTs and we still barely won the game

(Who was Coach then Pat Schurmur? ) ...
Look for yourself Throw Long!, Duh! it was 2000 and 1? 2001! Oh Butch Davis, the glory days. me- "Who would have thought we'd be looking back to the glory days of Butch Davis" Still arguably the best Browns coach since 1999.
The day Ty Detemer threw 7 interceptions for the Lions, 1 short of the NFL record. Dawgs4life it was never closer than 7 points, but!!! there was no scoring in the final 11 minutes with that 10 point lead, so... Looking back, What a Wonderful Flubbed Game!
I'll Propose, the NFL! Could have looked at this game before deciding on later rule changes involving helping offenses with 15 yard, +automatic first down penalties for brushing a quarterback, in order! to give terrible offenses an ability to keep eyes glued to T.V.s. A deep dive into this game! Is a wonderful, look into a time capsule of what has far too fast become history.
September 23, 2001. Only 2nd, or first game after the September 11th 9/11 attacks canceled the previous weeks football games to be played at the end of the schedule.
As 3 days of No fly zone for the entire continental US. existed.
( For those 3 days! I could see the sky as my ancestors had for 4000 years, but I hadn't my whole life.) Not a single white line cloud streak chem trail off a planes exhaust. ..
back to the game!
24 accumulated penalties, 15 on Detroit for 115 yards.
Anthony Henry had 3 ints! Tim Couch threw 3 touchdowns! One to Shaun O'Hara- (Ya that Shaun O'Hara.) was he an OL, or a DL, I think a center, maybe a TE?
The Lions!! had a fumble, but they didn't lose possession.
My Guy!! Daylon McCutcheon, had a forced fumble, on 6 solo tackles on the day.
