List of Cleveland Browns seasons
TheCleveland Brownsare a professionalAmerican footballteam based inCleveland,Ohio.The Browns compete in theNational Football League(NFL) as a member of theNorthdivision of theAmerican Football Conference(AFC). Founded in 1946, they were a charter member club of theAll-America Football Conference(AAFC).
The Browns have won fourNFL championships,all of which pre-date the existence of theSuper 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, theJacksonville Jaguarsand theHouston Texans,are expansion teams in the AFC that began play in 1995 and 2002 respectively.[3]
In1995,then-Browns ownerArt Modellmade the decision tomove the teamfromCleveland, OhiotoBaltimore, 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 Ravenswould begin play in 1996, and the Browns would return to the league in1999.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.
