  • The 1948 Cleveland Browns season was the team's third in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). After winning the AAFC crown in 1946 and 1947, the league's first two years of existence, the Browns repeated as champions in 1948 and had a perfect season, winning all of their games. The season began with a number of roster moves, including the addition of linebacker Alex Agase and halfbacks Ara Parseghian and Dub Jones. Following training camp and two preseason games, the Browns began the regular season with a win against the Buffalo Bills. Led by quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and ends Mac Speedie and Dante Lavelli, the Browns followed with a string of victories leading up to a November matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams had perfect records to that point, the 49ers relying heavily on the offensive production of quarterback Frankie Albert and end Alyn Beals to win their first 10 games. The Browns beat the 49ers 14–7, and followed two weeks later with another narrow victory over San Francisco, their closest competition in the AAFC in 1948. By the end of the season, the Browns had a perfect 14–0 record and led the league's Western Division, setting up a championship-game matchup with the Bills, who had won a playoff to take the Eastern Division. Cleveland beat Buffalo 49–7 in December to win the championship and preserve its unbeaten record. After the season, Graham, Motley and Speedie were included in many news organizations' All-Pro teams, alongside several other teammates. Graham was named the co-Most Valuable Player of the league alongside Albert. Browns games were televised for the first time in 1948. The season is recognized as perfect by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, although the National Football League (NFL), which absorbed the Browns when the AAFC dissolved in 1949, does not recognize it. Ohio senator Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in 2008 asking the league to officially recognize AAFC team statistics, including the perfect season. The 2007 New England Patriots were vying to complete a 19–0 season at the time and join the 1972 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to register a perfect record. In the 2017 NFL season, the Browns went 0–16, becoming the first and only team in NFL history to have both a winless season and a perfect season. (en)
  • La stagione 1948 dei Cleveland Browns è stata la terza della franchigia nella All-America Football Conference. La squadra, allenata da Paul Brown, concluse la stagione regolare con un record perfetto di 14-0, vincendo la Western Division. In finale la squadra vinse il suo terzo titolo consecutivo battendo i Buffalo Bills per 49-7. Il quarterback Otto Graham fu premiato come co-MVP della lega assieme a Frankie Albert dei San Francisco 49ers. La stagione è riconosciuta come perfetta dalla Pro Football Hall of Fame, ma non dalla National Football League (NFL), che assorbì i Browns quando la AAFC chiuse i battenti nel 1949. Nella stagione 2017 i Browns conclusero con un record di 0-16, diventando la prima squadra della NFL con una stagione perfetta e una senza vittorie. (it)
