Bring up the Denver Broncos to any Cleveland Browns fan of a certain age and you will receive responses ranging from “pain” to “misery” to a few that are not acceptable for a family website.
The anguish tends to center around the late 1980s, when the Browns and the Broncos faced off three times over a four-year period in the AFC Championship Game.
The Broncos won the 1986 game thanks to John Elway driving Denver 98-yards into the teeth of the Dawg Pound for a touchdown, sending the game into overtime, where the Broncos won on a Rich Karlis field goal.
