The Browns won two more championships in 1954 and 1955 while Kissell was with the team. He recovered a fumble in the 1954 championship game against the Lions and was part of a defensive front with Ford, Don Colo and Bob Gain that kept the Rams' offense off balance in the 1955 championship game. His last season in Cleveland was in 1956, when the team had its first-ever losing record.
