abstract	The 1947 Cleveland Browns season was the team's second season with the All-America Football Conference. The Browns were coached by Paul Brown, and ended their season with a record of 12–1–1, winning the Western Division for the second straight year. The team was once again lead by quarterback Otto Graham and fullback Marion Motley, who paved the way for the team's second straight AAFC Championship Game win against the New York Yankees, winning 14–3. The team's top draft choice was fullback Dick Hoerner. The Cleveland Browns opened the season on a strong note, defeating the Buffalo Bills, 30-14, and went on to win their first five games. The Browns lost only their second home game in two years to the Los Angeles Dons when the Dons came into Cleveland and defeated the Browns, 13–10. Attendance would fall off by nearly half the next week when the Chicago Rockets visited Cleveland. The Browns only won by three points, establishing another five-game winning streak. The team would then suffer their first tie in franchise history when the Browns and the Yankees tied, 28–28, in Yankee Stadium. However, the Browns would rebound and win their final two games of the season, ending the season with a blow-out victory over the Baltimore Colts, 42–0. Otto Graham would be awarded the league's MVP trophy following the season while leading the league in passing with 2,753 yards and 25 touchdown passes. Wide receiver Mac Speedie would end the season leading the league in receiving with 1,146 yards and six touchdown receptions. The Browns played all of their home games in Cleveland Stadium. The team drew their largest crowd of the season versus the Yankees on October 5, bringing in over 80,000 fans.
