against the Browns on Dec. 21, 1968.
The playoff game matched the favored Capital Division champion Cowboys (12-2 in the regular season) against the Century Division champion Browns (10-4).
It turned out to be a disaster for Meredith. An early pass was intercepted by Browns safety Mike Howell, setting up a 38-yard Don Cockroft field goal.
Cleveland linebacker Dale Lindsey picked off an errant Meredith toss early in the third quarter and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown, putting the Browns ahead, 17-10.
Moments later, Meredith was intercepted by Browns cornerback Ben Davis, leading to Leroy Kelly's 35-yard touchdown sprint and a 24-10 Browns lead. Cowboys coach Tom Landry then replaced Meredith with backup Craig Morton. Meredith finished 3 of 9 for 42 yards and the three INTs.
The Browns went on to win, 31-20.
