Before kickoff of the Browns’ Week 6 game against the Ravens, Browns legend quarterback Bernie Kosar made a surprise appearance at Huntington Bank Field and took on the ceremonial role of “Dawg Pound Captain.”

Kosar raised his arms amid the home crowd’s reaction, then smashed a Ravens-themed guitar as a show of welcome for the visiting team before the divisional matchup.

Kosar spent nine seasons with Cleveland from 1985-93, starting 105 games. The Browns’ team history release also notes his career production, including 21,904 passing yards and 116 passing touchdowns, and says he was inducted as a Browns Legend in 2001.

Why It Matters

  • The Dawg Pound Captain tradition is a pregame way for the franchise to connect team history to the present, especially in a high-emotion division game.
  • A divisional matchup often carries extra intensity with the home crowd, and the Browns used the ceremony to set that tone early.
  • Kosar’s involvement underscores the franchise’s continued emphasis on its legacy quarterback identity heading into a meaningful mid-season stretch.
