  1. 1955 Cleveland Browns

Despite looking simply terrible in training camp just prior to the 1955 regular season, Browns quarterback great Otto Graham was convinced to return for one more season.

Keep in mind, this is the same Otto Graham that led the Browns to an incredible 10 league championship games in 10 seasons, and seven league titles (four AAFC, three NFL).  So it’s obvious why they wanted him back.

He led the originally less-than-stellar Browns to a 9-2-1 record, outscoring opponents 349-218 on their way to the NFL championship.  Their 349 points scored that year led the NFL while the 218 points allowed by the Browns’ defense also led the league.

Graham threw for 1,721 yards with 15 touchdowns in 1955, leading the Browns to a six-game win streak after Cleveland dropped their opener to the Redskins 27-17.  They went on to defeat the L.A. Rams 38-14 with Graham going 14-for-25 for 209 yards with a pair of touchdowns and three picks.
