It wasn’t the Browns, though. They hadn’t played a game yet.
Nope, this lakeside franchise that ruled the NFL was the Cleveland Rams.
After a 9-1 regular season, the Rams beat the Redskins 15-14 in the NFL championship game at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Bob Waterfield threw two touchdown passes and kicked the extra point that ultimately proved to be the difference in the game.
That was the last game the Rams played in Cleveland as the home team. They moved to Los Angeles the following season.

The Browns? Well, that’s another story…
