1973 and 1979.The Cleveland Browns only
bright spot in the 70's was the American

in 1971 which they won. The Cleveland
Browns drafted Bernie Kosar in 1985. He
teamed with Earnest Byner and Kevin Mack
to power Cleveland’s resurgence
in the mid-1980s. The Browns made the
playoffs from 1985 through 1989, and Kosar
became one of the National Football League’s
(NFL) best quarterbacks. Cleveland got
to the American Football Conference (AFC)
Championship Game in 1986, 1987, and 1989,
but each time, the Cleveland Browns lost
to the Denver Broncos. Their only consolation
was winning the American Football Conference

years. The Cleveland Browns suffered five
losing seasons in their final six years
in Cleveland. In early November, 1995
