When was the last time the Browns were 4-1-0, and what was going on in the world?

The Browns are sitting at 4-1-0. They are tied in second place of the AFC North Division with the Baltimore Ravens. Ahead of both of these clubs is the 4-0-0 Pittsburgh Steelers who Cleveland plays this upcoming weekend.

When was the last time the Browns began the season 4-1-0? The 1964 NFL Championship season? Was Marty Schottenheimer the head coach of a team like that? Wasn’t Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown roaming the sidelines?

Actually, it was 1994.

And it was another Hall of Fame-type roaming those Municipal Stadium sidelines: Bill Belichick.

Belichick had been the defensive coordinator for the New York Football Giants and helped them win two Super Bowls under head coach Bill Parcells.
