In 1950, Cleveland's first season in the NFL, the team finished with a 10–2 record and advanced to the championship game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Browns won the game 30–28 on a last-minute field goal by placekicker Lou Groza. Grigg later said blocking for Groza as he made the kick was the highlight of his career. Grigg stayed with the Browns for the 1951 season, when the team again reached the championship game but lost to the Rams. He was acquired by the Green Bay Packers in 1952, but was picked up by the Dallas Texans early in the season on waivers. Grigg played a final season for the Texans before leaving football.
