CLEVELAND -- The last time the Cleveland Browns won four of their first five games to start a season, Bill Belichick was their head coach. Current coach Kevin Stefanski hadn't even entered high school.
With Sunday's 32-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland moved to 4-1 for the first time since 1994. The Browns went on to finish 11-5 that year to make the playoffs, defeating New England in the wild-card round. But following a losing season a year later, then-owner Art Modell relocated the franchise to Baltimore and fired Belichick.
Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland delivered one of its biggest victories since.
