From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1950 National Football League championship game was the 18th NFL title game. The game was played on December 24, 1950 in Cleveland, Ohio's Municipal Stadium
The 1950 season in the NFL brought some changes to the league. First the NFL had added three teams from the All-America Football Conference. The NFL realigined the Eastern and Western Divisions into the American Conference and National Conference. For the first both division/conference races resulted in ties at the end of the regular season, resulting in two playoff games. In the American Conference Cleveland Browns who had joined the NFL from the AAFC defeated the New York Giants, while in the National Conference the Los Angeles Rams beat the Chicago Bears.
The Browns had been the AAFC's mos dominate team, winning all 4 of its championships. The Rams who left Cleveland after the 1945 season for Los Angeles were making their second straight appearance in the NFL title game.
