Led by an offense that featured quarterback Otto Graham, fullback Marion Motley and ends Mac Speedie and Dante Lavelli, Cleveland finished the 1950 season with a 10–2 record and won the NFL's American division. That set up a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in the championship game. The score was close for most of the game, but the Browns fell behind 28–20 in the fourth quarter. Graham then led a long drive hat ended with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Bumgardner, who made a diving catch in the end zone to bring the score to 28–27. Browns placekicker Lou Groza made a field goal with 28 seconds left in the game to give Cleveland the victory.
