The Cleveland Browns from that era were the greatest NFL Dynasty EVER.


The Cleveland Browns began play in 1946 as a charter member of the league known as the AAFC (All-American Football Conference). They won the Championship in 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949. The AAFC dissolved after the 1949 season, due largely to the Browns' absolute domination of the league.

The Browns' first NFL game was against the two-time defending champion Philadelphia Eagles. The overwhelming consensus at the time was that the Eagles would blow the Browns off the field; there were still many who thought the Browns were merely the dominant team in a minor league.

However, the Browns were determined to prove they belonged. They shredded the Eagles' vaunted defense for 487 yards of total offense en route to a 35-10 blowout and advanced to the NFL Championship game in every season of their first 6 years in the League, winning 3 times.

Within their first 10 years of existence, the Browns reached the title game every year (four in the AAFC, six in the NFL) and won seven of them, 4 AAFC Championships and three NFL Championships - 1950, 1954 and 1955.
