They have the worst record in the NFL
The Cleveland Browns are a professional American football team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Browns compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division.

The Browns play their home games at FirstEnergy Stadium, which opened in 1999 and is located in downtown Cleveland. They are headquartered at 76 Lou Groza Blvd. in Berea, Ohio.
The group’s primary ownership comes from Jimmy Haslam, who acquired a majority stake in the team in 2012 after purchasing it from Randy Lerner for $1 billion. The team has won one NFL championships – in 1964 – but possesses no Super Bowl titles since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970.They are also the only team in NFL history to go 0-16 in a season, which they did in 2017. As a result, they hold the dubious distinction of having the worst record of any NFL franchise over a 16-game span (1-31).
They have lost the most games in a season
In 2017, the Cleveland Browns lost all 16 of their games, becoming the second team in NFL history to do so (the other being the 2008 Detroit Lions).
