, I gotta say.
Let’s be honest, they haven’t been to the Super Bowl since, well, ever! It’s been a long time since those championship years, but hey, who doesn’t love a good underdog story?
The Browns have a pretty decent record when it comes to the regular season. They’ve been around for a while, since 1946, to be exact. They’ve got over 500 wins, which is pretty impressive. But when you look at their playoff record, it’s a different story.
Their playoff record is kinda like that friend who shows up to a party super late but then ends up staying all night. They’ve made it to the playoffs 22 times, but haven’t quite managed to make it to the big game. It’s a bit of a bummer, but hey, it’s all part of the game, right?
Let’s break down their playoff history a bit more:
