The 1987 Cleveland Browns season was the team's 38th season with the National Football League.
Led by another 3,000-yard season by Bernie Kosar, the Browns captured their third straight AFC Central crown. In the divisional playoffs, against the Indianapolis Colts at Municipal Stadium, the Browns have no problem advancing to their 2nd straight AFC Championship Game as they rout the Colts 38-21. For the 2nd year in a row the Browns are matched up against the Denver Broncos for a trip to Super Bowl XXII. The Browns would fall behind early at Mile High Stadium, as the Broncos roared out to a big halftime lead. However, the Browns roar back scoring 30 points in the 2nd half, and driving for the winning TD in the final 2 minutes. However, the Browns dreams would come up just a few yards short as RB Earnest Byner fumbles at the goal line (the play would simply be call The Fumble) as the Browns fall 38-33.
