The Curse That Haunts The Browns

For fans from the Cleveland Browns, whose group have not won an NFL Championship since 1964 – and have never won the Super Bowl – the franchise has seemed cursed to remain forevermore outside the hallowed halls of professional football’s elite. To be sure, there have been enough odd instances throughout the modern historical past with the Browns to give rise to such a belief. When most fans think with the curse that has apparently plagued the team, nonetheless, you’ll find three particular plays and drives that come to mind: the Red Proper 88 instance, the Drive, plus the Fumble.

Red Right 88

Red Perfect 88 refers to a play on January 4 of 1981 that was known as by Cleveland toward the end on the team’s Division playoff matchup with the Raiders of Oakland. Inside waning moments of that game, the Browns were behind by a score of fourteen to twelve, and driving. They managed to get the ball down to Oakland’s thirteen, and still had nearly a minute of game time left. Most fans assumed that the group would line up to kick what would are already the victory field goal. Instead, the group attempted “Red Right 88” – a passing play. Brian Sipe, the Browns quarterback, then proceeded to throw the ball into the end zone in an attempt to connect with Ozzie Newsome, the tight end. The ball ended up being intercepted by Mike Davis of the Raiders, along with the Browns lost the game and any hope of a Super Bowl berth that year.

The Drive

Six years and seven days later, the Browns were within the AFC title game against the Denver Broncos. Late from the fourth quarter, Cleveland was ahead by a touchdown. All they had to do was keep John Elway and his Broncos out from the end zone for the last thirty-seven seconds of game-time. What happened then was a single from the most remarkable – and for Cleveland fans, heartbreaking – drives within the background inside the sport. Elway proceeded to drive his Broncos team ninety-eight yards down the field in that thirty-seven second span of time, for the tying score. Worse, the Browns ended up losing within the subsequent overtime period, twenty-three to twenty. Now known as the Drive, the series by Elway is just one particular additional part from the team’s legendary cursed historical past.

The Fumble

And then there’s the Fumble. Just 1 year after the “Drive” broke the hearts of Browns fans, they found their group back in the AFC title game once additional – once the moment more facing Elway as well as the Broncos. There was just over a minute left in the game, and the Browns running back was on his way to what would have been a touchdown run to tie the score and force overtime. The moment the moment again, on the other hand, fate intervened, as the ball was fumbled at the 3 yard line and recovered by the Broncos at the two – oddly enough, the same two yard line from which Elway had begun the “Drive” just a year before.
