December 24, 1950
Cleveland
Browns First NFL Champion
Playing
their first season in the NFL after four years in the rival All-America
Football Conference, the Cleveland Browns defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 30–28.
The championship was the first of three won by Cleveland in the 1950s under
head coach Paul Brown behind an offense that featured quarterback Otto Graham,
fullback Marion Motley and ends Dante Lavelli and Mac Speedie.
Before
the 1950 season, the NFL added three teams from the All-America Football
Conference (AAFC), a competing league that went out of business as part of a
peace deal negotiated in 1949. After the addition of the Cleveland Browns, the
Baltimore Colts and San Francisco 49ers, the NFL reorganized its Eastern and
Western divisional structure into the American and National conferences. The
Browns were placed in the American Conference with a group of teams mostly from
the old Eastern Division, while the 49ers and Colts went into the National
Conference with teams from the old Western Division.Under NFL rules at the
time, the teams with the best records in each conference after the 12-game
regular season were to play each other in the NFL championship to determine the
winner of the league.
