Useless nuggets of information from Sunday’s Browns game that you can certainly live without…
BAD HISTORY: With Sunday’s defeat, the Browns clinched their fifth consecutive losing record. It’s the longest stretch in team history, topping four-year skids from 2003-2006, 1995-2001, and 1990-1993. This is their 13th losing record in their last 15 seasons and 17th in their last 20.
OFFENSIVE DIFFERENCES: This was the sixth time this season and the second time in three weeks a Browns’ opponent topped 400 total yards. It also marked the sixth time this year the Browns failed to accumulate 300 yards of offense themselves.
MIXED BAG FOR T-RICH: The good news is that Trent Richardson has scored six touchdowns in his last four games, including four scores in his last two. The bad news is that in those last two games, he’s rushed for a total of just 60 yards on 29 carries. Sunday was the fifth time this year he’s rushed for less than 40 yards in a game. Still, he moved within 103 yards of the 1,000-yard mark for the season.
GO FIGURE: Though Washington more than doubled the Browns in total rushing yards (122 to 58), the Browns had a better per-carry average (3.9 to 3.5).
NO-NO NFC: The Browns have now lost seven of their last eight games against NFC opponents and are 4-16 against the NFC over the past five seasons.
