CLEVELAND: The 1986 Browns returned home Sunday to be honored and remember some of the better moments in the franchise’s history.
They started the day by greeting the current team during player introductions before soaking in the atmosphere.
Former coach Marty Schottenheimer appeared on FirstEnergy Stadium’s scoreboards leading the Browns faithful in chants of “Here we go, Brownies! Here we go!” during the game.
It’s clear that no matter how many years have passed since Schottenheimer and this group of 25 players took the field, the affection between the players, coaches and the fans remains.
Before the 1986 team, which included alumni such as quarterback Bernie Kosar, running backs Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner and linebacker Clay Matthews, took the field, they stood patiently watching this year’s team head into the locker room at halftime.
