The Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans/Oilers franchises have 10 championships and nearly 1,000 wins between them, dating to their starts in the All-America Football Conference and the AFL.

In advance this year's game between the two teams, here's a look at the two franchises by the numbers, from championships and coaches, to leading passers, runners, receivers and more. Even included is typical weather during the football season in each city - Cleveland and Nashville.

One tie the two franchises have is the NFL city shuffling that occurred during the late 1990s.

The original Browns moved to Baltimore after the 1995 season, becoming the Ravens, leaving Cleveland without a team in the NFL for three years. Meanwhile, at about the same time, the Oilers franchise moved to Tennessee, keeping the Oilers' name for two seasons before becoming the Tennessee Titans in 1999.
