The most important numbers are 16 and 6. That was the final score in Sunday’s matchup between the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders, with the visitors from the AFC West topping the good guys in orange and brown.
Here’s how they got to those two numbers in the blustery, yucky weather conditions at FirstEnergy Stadium, as told by the numbers:
0 – Takeaways by the Browns defense
0 – Sacks allowed by the Browns offensive line
1 – Punt forced by the Browns defense in the last two weeks
1 – Red zone touchdown by the Raiders offense, in four attempts
2 – Baker Mayfield passes that hit Jarvis Landry in both hands in the end zone. The Browns did not score a touchdown.
3 – Third down conversions by the Browns offense, in 10 attempts
6 – Offensive possessions for the Browns, a season-low in the entire NFL in 2020
6 – Dropped passes by Browns receivers, accounting for almost half of Mayfield’s 13 incompletions
7 – Penalties by the Browns, costing them 59 yards
14 – Total first downs from the Browns offense
41- Rushing yards for Raiders QB Derek Carr, nearly doubling his season total
47 – Browns offensive plays, a season-low total
53 – MPH peak wind gust during the first quarter
101 – Net passing yards for the Raiders, the lowest total for a team that won this season through Week 8 (Miami also won in Week 8 with just 90)
122 – Passing yards for Mayfield, on 12-of-25 passing
208 – Raiders rushing yards
