For the first time this season, the Cleveland Browns have won back-to-back games. A 39-38 thriller over the Colts was capped with the sort of controversy that the Browns usually find themselves on the other side of.

It wasn’t pretty, but that doesn’t matter. A wins a win. Let’s take a look at some of the interesting numbers behind the Browns’ shootout against the Colts.

12 – The amount of times the earth has been around the sun since the Browns won a game in Indianapolis.

68% – Chance that the Browns make the playoffs after beating the Colts.

39% – Chance that the Browns would’ve made the playoffs had they lost.

0-8 – Colts QB Gardener Minshew’s all-time record in the NFL when throwing for more than 300 yards a game

2 – Forced fumbles on Gardener Minshew by Myles Garrett, who is cementing himself not just as a DPOY candidate but an MVP candidate as well.

4 – Sacks the Browns defense was able to tally against the Colts’ offensive line

4 again – Turnovers forced by the Browns defense, three fumbles (all by the QB) and one interception snagged by Denzel Ward.

255.6 – The Browns defense allowed Indianapolis’ offense 456 yards, 255.6 more than the league best average they had coming into the game.

58 – Dustin Hopkins’ new career long. Hopkins was perfect in this game, going 4/4 including three 50+ yarders. 

2nd – Dustin Hopkin is now 2nd in Browns franchise history for 50+ yarders made, behind Phil Dawson. Hopkins has only played six games.

40 – Snaps rookie offensive lineman Dawand Jones played last game, allowing only one QB pressure and zero sacks.

0.3 – Watson’s QBR before being taken out of the game. He threw five times, only completed one pass for five yards, and was intercepted.
