  • The 1946 Cleveland Browns season was the team's first in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). The Browns, coached by Paul Brown, ended the year with a record of 12–2, winning the AAFC's Western Division. Led by quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and ends Dante Lavelli and Mac Speedie, the team won the first AAFC championship game against the New York Yankees. The Browns were founded by Arthur B. McBride, a Cleveland taxi-cab tycoon, as a charter franchise in the new AAFC. McBride in 1945 hired Brown, a successful coach at the high school and college levels. Brown, who was serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, began to assemble a roster as the team prepared to begin play in 1946. After beating the Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition game, Cleveland opened the regular season against the Miami Seahawks at Cleveland Stadium on September 6, winning 44–0. The Browns proceeded to win six more games before losing for the first time in October against the San Francisco 49ers at home by a score of 34–20. Cleveland lost a second game in a row against the Los Angeles Dons the following week, but rebounded to win the final five games of the season, including a 66–14 victory over the Dodgers. Cleveland finished with the league's best record and a spot in the championship game against the Yankees. The Browns won the game 14–9. Lavelli led the AAFC in receiving with 843 yards and 8 touchdowns, while placekicker Lou Groza led the league in points scored, with 84. Graham had the league's best passing average, with 10.5 yards per attempt. His quarterback rating of 112.1 was the highest in professional football history until Joe Montana surpassed it in 1989. Cleveland played all of its home games in Cleveland Stadium. The 1946 Browns set a professional football record with 67 defensive takeaways; the record still stands as of 2022. (en)
  • La stagione 1946 dei Cleveland Browns è stata la prima della franchigia nella All-America Football Conference. La squadra, allenata da Paul Brown, concluse la stagione regolare con un record di 12–2, vincendo la Western Division. Guidata dal quarterback Otto Graham, dal fullback Marion Motley e dai ricevitori Dante Lavelli e Mac Speedie, vinse il primo titolo della AAFC battendo i New York Yankees. I Browns furono fondati da , un magnate dell'industria dei taxi di Cleveland, come uno dei membri inaugurali della AAFC. McBride nel 1945 assunse Brown, un allenatore di successo a livello di scuole superiori e di college. Brown, che servì nella Marina durante la seconda guerra mondiale, iniziò ad assemblare un roster mentre la squadra si preparara a debuttare nel 1946. Dopo avere battuto i Brooklyn Dodgers in una gara amichevole, Cleveland aprì la stagione regolare contro i Miami Seahawks al Cleveland Stadium il 6 settembre, vincendo 44–0. La squadra vinse sei gare consecutive prima di perdere la prima partita contro i San Francisco 49ers con un punteggio di 34–20. Cleveland perse un'altra sfida contro i Los Angeles Dons la settimana successiva, ma si riprese vincendo tutte le ultime cinque gare della stagione, inclusa una vittoria per 66–14 sui Dodgers. Cleveland terminò con il miglior record della lega, centrando un posto in finale contro gli Yankees, vincendo per 14–9. Lavelli guidò la AAFC in yard ricevute con 843 e 8 touchdown, mentre il placekicker Lou Groza guidò la lega in punti segnati con 84.
