He also set the NCAA record for consecutive pass attempts without an interception (271) that stood until 2007 when Kentucky quarterback Andre' Woodson broke it. In 2010 it was announced that he would join Brad Nessler to call the second game of the network's Monday Night Football doubleheader on September 13 of that year. In his lone season for the Browns Dilfer passed for 2321 yards and 11 touchdowns throwing 12 interceptions and fumbling 9 times (losing 7 of those).

Dilfer was a Pro Bowl selection with the Buccaneers in 1997 and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. He played college football at Fresno State University.
