American Football Conference · AFC North
The Cleveland Browns were founded in 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio, where they continue to play home games at Huntington Bank Field. The franchise is headquartered in Berea, Ohio, and owned by Jimmy Haslam, with Charles Woodson among the notable minority owners. Andrew Berry serves as general manager, while Todd Monken leads the team as head coach, supported by offensive coordinator Travis Switzer and defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg. The Browns have earned their unofficial nickname, the Factory of Sadness, through stretches that test even devoted fans. The 2017 season produced an 0–16 record, the low point in a run that saw the team go 1–15 the year before and 3–13 in 2015. Bright spots have surfaced: an 11–5 playoff season in 2020 and another postseason appearance in 2023 at 11–6. Recent years have been bumpier, with records of 3–14 in 2024 and 5–12 in 2025, though the current 2026 campaign stands at 3–2.
