The 1976 Cleveland Browns season was the team’s 27th season with the National Football League. The Browns were coached by second year coach Forrest Gregg and ended their season with a record of 9–5 being third in their division. The team’s top draft choice was running back Mike Pruitt. Brian Sipe firmly took control at quarterback. Sipe had been inserted into the lineup after a Mike Phipps injury in the season-opening win against the New York Jets on September 12.
