Cleveland Browns Passing First Downs Leaders

Career totals with the Browns and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through October 19: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. The club's AAFC seasons (1946-1949) are not in these totals, as the NFL's record book does not count them; they are under the AAFC. Did not play 1996-1998; the Browns name and records stayed in Cleveland and resumed in 1999.
