Cleveland Browns…Hoping To Return To The Glory Days
In 1946, the Cleveland Browns became part of the All-American Football Conference. They got their name through a contest in which fans selected the “Browns” in honor or Paul Brown, the then vice-president, general manager, and head coach of the team.
During their four year run in the AAFC, the Browns lost only four games, winning all four championship games. In 1948, they became the first team in football history to finish a season with no losses or ties, a feat that remained unmatched until the Dolphins team of 1972.
After the 1949 season, the AAFC folded, in part because of the Browns domination of the league. The NFL consented to take in three of the teams, one of which was of course the Browns. Even after their success in the AAFC, many still considered the team a winner in the minors and unable to hold up to major league teams.
The Cleveland Browns did not see themselves this way and soon proved to the world that they were a force to be reckoned with, beating the Philadelphia Eagles, who were at the time the reigning champions of the league, in their first NFL game. The Browns went on to win the season with a 10-2 record, and took the championship that year against the Los Angeles Rams. The next year would also prove very successful for the Browns, although a rematch in the championship game against the Rams saw them face their first ever defeat in a championship game.
The next several years were just as successful for the Cleveland Browns as the previous had been. They reached the championship game every year during their first six in the NFL, winning once more in 1955, against the Rams. After that year however, the quarterback for the Browns, Otto Graham, left the team because of injuries and the team experienced their first ever losing season.
Since 1955, the Cleveland Browns have only made it back to the championship game twice, both times before the AFL and NFL merged. They are the only team in the league that has never hosted a Super Bowl or played in one. Despite this, they come back every year and give it another try. Some seasons are better then others but there is never a dull moment at a Browns game.
In 1995, the owner of the Browns, Art Modell announced a decision to move the Browns to Baltimore. Angry fans filed lawsuits and staged protests, and most of the sponsors pulled their support from the team. The final home game that season was a disaster, with fans throwing seats onto the field, and setting fires in the stands. Officials and security guards were assaulted, and parts of the game had to be moved from one end of the field to the other to avoid injury to the players. The Browns won.
Despite the protests, Modell took the players and personnel with him to Baltimore and became the 31st team in the NFL, but he was forced to leave the Browns legacy, colors, name, and uniforms in Cleveland, where the team was deactivated for three years until they could have a new stadium built and find new players. In 1999, the new Cleveland Browns took the field for the first time.
Since rejoining the league, the Browns have had a rough time but they seem to be working their way back to their former glory. Their games are full of excitement and heart stopping moments. Win or lose, their fans love them, and they are always good entertainment.
