The 1955 Cleveland Browns season was the team's sixth season with the National Football League. The Browns' defense became the first defense in the history of the NFL to lead the league in fewest points allowed and fewest total yards allowed for two consecutive seasons.[1]
Quarterback Otto Graham was spurred on to come out of retirement and play one more year. The defending NFL champion Browns were 9–2–1 in the regular season and won the Eastern Conference while Graham won his fifth overall Most Valuable Player Award (two AAFC, three NFL). They played in the NFL Championship Game for the sixth consecutive year, and repeated as champion with a 38–14 win over the Rams in Los Angeles. Having played in the league championship game every year he played (ten), Graham retired for good after the game ended.[2][3]
