The Cleveland Browns famously played in the first Monday Night Football game in history on September 21, 1970, when they beat the New York Jets.
Over the ensuing 25 years the Browns were a staple of the league’s primetime schedule, with memorable victories along the way over the likes of the Dallas Cowboys in 1979, the Los Angeles Rams in 1987, the Chicago Bears in 1989, and the Pittsburgh Steelers (1985, 2003, 2009, 2019 and 2022).
Since their return to the NFL in 1999, the Browns have been afforded a primetime slot on a less frequent basis, but have generally picked up one or two games each season.
