List of Cleveland Browns seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cleveland Browns seasons)

The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the North division of the American Football Conference (AFC). Founded in 1946, they were a charter member club of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC).

The Browns have won four NFL championships, all of which pre-date the existence of the Super Bowl. The Browns' four championships are tied for the tenth most total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises.[1] They are one of four current teams to have never played in the Super Bowl.[2] Two of these teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans, are expansion teams in the AFC that began play in 1995 and 2002 respectively.[3]

In 1995, then-Browns owner Art Modell made the decision to move the team from Cleveland, Ohio to Baltimore, Maryland. An agreement between the city of Cleveland and the NFL kept the team's history, name and colors in Cleveland, while Modell's new team would be regarded as an expansion team. The Baltimore Ravens would begin play in 1996, and the Browns would return to the league in 1999. For record-keeping purposes, the Browns are considered to have suspended operations from 1996 to 1998, which is reflected in this list. In 2017, the Cleveland Browns became the second team in NFL history (2008 Detroit Lions) to suffer an 0–16 record. In 2020, the Browns won their first playoff game since their reactivation in 1999, defeating the division champion Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The NFL does not recognize the Browns' AAFC championships. For the purposes of this list, however, they are included in final totals.
  2. ^ At the end of the 1950 NFL season, the Browns and Giants had identical 10–2–0 records. To determine the team that would play in the NFL Championship Game, the NFL held a one-game conference playoff. The Browns won, 8–3.
  3. ^ At the end of the 1958 NFL season, the Browns and Giants had identical 9–3–0 records. To determine the team that would play in the NFL Championship Game, the NFL held a one-game conference playoff. The Giants shut the Browns out 10–0.
  4. ^ In 1961, the NFL expanded its regular season schedule, which had been 12 games since 1947, to 14 games.[21]
  5. ^ In 1967, the NFL divided conferences into divisions, resulting in two divisions in each of the two conferences. Up to 1967, the league was either divided its two divisions into, two conferences, or neither.[27]
  6. ^ a b In 1970, the NFL and American Football League (AFL) officially merged in the AFL–NFL merger to form one league with two conferences. All ten former AFL teams as well as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Baltimore from the pre-merger NFL joined the AFC; the other thirteen remaining NFL teams joined the NFC. Each of those two were divided into three divisions: East, Central, and West.[31][32]
  7. ^ In 1978, the NFL expanded its regular season schedule, which had been 14 games since 1961, to 16 games.[21][42]
  8. ^ a b The 1982 season was shortened to nine games after a players' strike. The top eight teams in each conference advanced to the playoffs.[46]
  9. ^ The 1987 NFL strike caused the schedule to be reduced to 15 games.[53]
  10. ^ In 2002, the NFL realigned to create four divisions in both conferences with four teams in each division.[65]
  11. ^ In 2021, the NFL expanded its regular season schedule, which had been 16 games since 1978, to 17 games.[21][87]
