The league champion Browns went undefeated this season with a 9-0 record in league play and capped off the season with seven victories and no defeats in Columbus at The Tournament 4 Causes, which is the charity event that is sponsored by the league to determine the State Champions in each division.

The league requires each player to have a nickname that they display on the back of their NFL style jersey. The Browns players are 10-year-old Oregon residents Dempsey “Demps” Coughlin, Michael “X-Factor” McGee, Reese “The Breeze” Wamer, Jake “The Snake” Novak, Brody “Lebro” Leichty, 12-year-old Toledo resident Tyler “Wollfy” Wolff, and 12-year-old Perrysburg resident Andrew “Finny” Finfrock.
