2013
when the afl and nfl merged before the 1970 season, cleveland became part of the new american football conference (afc). while the browns made it back to the playoffs in 1971 and 1972, they fell into mediocrity through the mid-1970s. a revival of sorts took place in 1979 and 1980, when quarterback brian sipe engineered a series of last-minute wins and the browns came to be called the "kardiac kids". under sipe, however, the browns did not make it past the first round of the playoffs. quarterback bernie kosar, who the browns drafted in 1985, led the team to three afc championship games in the late 1980s but lost each time. in 1995, modell announced he was relocating the browns to baltimore, sowing a mix of outrage and bitterness among cleveland's dedicated fan base. negotiations and legal battles led to an agreement where modell was allowed to move the team, but cleveland kept the browns' name, colors and history. after three years of suspension while the old municipal stadium was demolished and cleveland browns stadium took its place, the browns started play again in 1999 under new owner al lerner. since resuming operations, the browns have made the playoffs only once, as a wild-card team in 2002.
