Brown's history: Cleo Miller


Cleo Miller played fullback for the Browns from 1975 until 1982 with his best season coming in 1977 when he rushed for 756 yards. My favorite Cleo Miller memory however comes from the 1980 season when, from his backup role, he stepped up against the Houston Oilers in a critical road game and rushed for 69 yards on 8 carries including 2 touchdowns. The Oilers game was a late season must win situation and the victory put the Browns in first place in the Central Division at 9-4. Miller's clutch play that day therefore was instrumental in the Browns winning the Central Division.
