There hasn't been a team in history that has suffered more postseason indignities than the .
There was the "Red Right 88" interception thrown by Brian Sipe in the 1980 playoffs against the Oakland Raiders, "The Drive" by John Elway and the Denver Broncos in the 1986 AFC Championship Game and "The Fumble" by Browns tailback Earnest Byner against those same Broncos the following year.
The Browns hadn't even been to the playoffs since 2002 before making it as an 11-5 wild card in 2020 to end the longest drought in the league.
