1989 Cleveland Browns

Quarterback Bernie Kosar lets a pass fly against Houston.  He passed for 3,533 yds. and  18 TDs and had an 80.3 passer rating in 1989.


Running back Kevin Mack missed much of the '89 season due to injury, but he would return late in the season to give the Browns the power running game they sorely missed most of the year.


Safety Felix Wright leaps to deflect a pass in the end zone against Kansas City in the 10-10 stalemate. He was all around the football all year long and led the AFC with 9 interceptions in 1989.

Head Coach: Bud Carson

Points Scored: 334 (14th out of 28 NFL teams)
