— Brendan Porath (@BrendanPorath) November 9, 2014 This was the world when the Browns last had a solo division lead
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The Steelers shocking loss to the Jets Sunday afternoon puts the Browns alone atop the AFC North. It has been a long, long time since the Browns had the solo lead of a division. Here are some other fun facts about the world in Sept. 1995:
- Johnny Manziel was 2 years old.
- Apple stock was $37.06 a share, now $109.01. (Actually would be worth around $3,000 due to stock splits.)
- Neither the Carolina Panthers or the Jacksonville Jaguars had won an NFL game since becoming franchises.
- The DVD was announced.
- The Browns were worth an estimated $200M, now valued at $1.1B.
- eBay first appears on the Internet.
- World population has grown by 1.5 billion since the Browns last held the division lead.
- Browns general manager Ray Farmer was a 21-year-old safety playing for Duke.
h/t @TonyGrossi for the date of the Browns last lead.
