Houston 2 playoff appearances in the 1970's (78 & 79), 0 Championships:
Elvin Bethea 1968-1983
Robert Brazile 1975-1984
Earl Campbell 1978-1984
Curley Culp 1974-1980
Cleveland 2 playoff appearances in the 1970's (71 & 72), 0 Championships:
Leroy Kelly 1964-1973
Ozzie Newsome 1978-1990
*Paul Warfield 1964-1969, 1976-1977
Cincinnati 3 playoff appearances in the 1970's (70, 73 & 75) 0 Championships:
*Crickets*
* - I include Warfield as a Browns HOF'er but not for the 1970's since almost all his work in the 70's was with the Dolphins. Same could be said of Newsome since he only played two years in the decade, but Campbell counts and he's a 70's HOF'er to be sure.
