Cleveland Browns 1988 Topps Football Cards
(Complete Set)


Cleveland Browns 1987 Season

  • Players strike reduces season to 15 games. Replacement players play in weeks 3-5 games. Browns win two of the three replacement games with quarterback Jeff Christensen in the first two and Gary Danielson, who returns before the strike ends, in the final replacement game
  • Second closest the Browns ever got to the Super Bowl - Came within a fumble and a field goal. With the Broncos leading 38-31 in the AFC Championship game in Denver the Browns started their final drive from their own 25 yard line with 3:53 to play in regulation. Kosar drives the Browns 75 yards to the Broncos one yard line with 1:05 left. Kosar turns and hands the ball off to Earnest Byner who has the ball stripped from him as he is about to enter the end zone for the tying score and probably send the game into overtime. The Broncos recover and the Browns season ends
  • Bernie Kosar leads the AFC with a 95.4 passer rating
