Browns put together a forgotten perfect season in 1948

Long before the 2007 New England Patriots and the 1972 Miami Dolphins, perfection in pro football was first achieved by the Browns.
Paul Brown's creation produced a 15-0 championship season in the All-America Football Conference in 1948.
But the mark is noted only by football historians.
The NFL does not acknowledge the records of the AAFC, even though three of its teams - the Browns, Colts and 49ers - were absorbed into the NFL in 1950.
"It was agreed upon at that time not to include AAFC records," said Joe Horrigan of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "Whereas, when the NFL merged with the American Football League and took all [10] of its teams, the agreement included bringing along AFL records."
Browns Hall of Fame receiver Dante Lavelli outspokenly campaigned to change this slight, but to no avail.
"I personally think that team has been slighted," Horrigan said.
The 1948 Browns were the third of Paul Brown's four consecutive AAFC championship teams. Spread across the 1947 through '49 seasons, the Browns had an unbeaten streak of 29 games during which they went 27-0-2.
Trying to put the Browns in their place, NFL Commissioner Bert Bell scheduled them on the road in their first NFL game against the two-time defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns whipped them, 35-10, and proceeded to win the NFL championship
