Throwback Thursday: Steelers beat Cleveland's last championship team, the 1964 Browns

The Cleveland Cavaliers are just two wins away from giving Cleveland its first professional sports championship since the 1964 Browns. As great as that team was, Cleveland fell victim to the rough and tough Steelers, led by Hall of Fame running back John Henry Johnson's 200 rushing yards.

For over a half century, the 1964 Browns have been the last Cleveland professional sports team to win a championship.

While the Cleveland Cavaliers are in position to replace them in the next week, at this current time, Jim Brown's Browns is still the city's last best team.
