When it comes to rivalries, the Browns have some of the deepest roots in the NFL. Though many would say they have only two main rivals today—the Ravens and the Steelers—you could reasonably argue the Bengals should be included in the mix, as well. In addition to these three divisional rivals, the Browns also have a rivalry with the Lions, as well as historical rivalries against the Broncos and the Rams.
Historical Rivalries of the Browns
When the Browns joined the NFL, they won in dominating fashion. They won the NFL championship in their first season in the league, opening the year by beating the former champion Eagles and ending the year with a championship victory over the Rams.
