American Football Conference · AFC North
The Cleveland Browns were founded in 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio, and play their home games at Huntington Bank Field. The franchise is headquartered in Berea, Ohio, and owned by Jimmy Haslam, with Andrew Berry serving as general manager and Todd Monken as head coach. The Browns' recent history has been defined by dramatic swings. After going 0–16 in 2017—the nadir of a brutal stretch that included a 1–15 campaign the year before—they rebounded to make the playoffs in 2020 at 11–5 and again in 2023 at 11–6. The years between and after have been less kind, with the 2024 and 2025 seasons producing a combined 8–26 record. The current roster features Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, Jerry Jeudy, Denzel Ward, and defensive addition Jared Verse, among others.
