The 1985 season was a humble, yet magical campaign for the Browns, who garnered instant credibility with newbies Bernie Kosar and Marty Schottenheimer at quarterback and head coach, respectively. The result: An AFC Central title and a gut-wrenching loss to Miami in the Divisional Playoff round -- especially after leading 21-3 in the third quarter. But this year laid the foundation for the franchise's most sustained success of the Super Bowl era ... which, sadly, never wrought a Super Bowl appearance.
