The Browns were the best of these teams, as they started off with a dominant 44-0 win over the Miami Seahawks. The Browns would continue to dominate the AAFC as they won their first seven games.

After back-to-back losses in the middle of the season the Browns closed the season with five straight wins to easily win the Western Division with a 12-2 record. In the first AAFC Championship Game, the Browns would edge the New York Yankees 14-9.
