Watch out, NFL world: These aren't your father's . That's right, they're winners. Well, at least they're guaranteed to be losers. Now sitting at 8-3 after picking up a third-straight victory on Sunday, the Browns can finish no worse than 8-8 this season. It's been over a decade since the last time Cleveland finished with a .500 record or better and an even longer time since they last made the playoffs. First-year head coach Kevin Stefanski is well on his way to becoming a local legend, as he's giving Browns fans a reason to celebrate on a near-weekly basis.In this week's numbers to know, we'll highlight the embarra sing streak Stefanski's Browns broke in Week 12. We'll also take a closer look at the , who have a statistic that helps explain why they're not quite ready to rise to the top. Before we get to those two teams, though, here are some figures you must know from the past weekend of action.The ' quarterback situation was a disaster on Sunday. After the reserve/COVID-19 list claimed all of the team's arms, the Broncos had no other option but to play undrafted rookie wide receiver as their emergency quarterback. As a result, the Broncos completed justonepa s for 13 yards in a 31-3 lo s to the .Hinton's lone completion went to tight end and didn't come until the second half. He threw eight other pa s attempts in the game and two of them were intercepted. As lopsided as the lo s was for Denver, Hinton's performance in an unprecedented situation was Jaylen Nowell Jersey actually quite respectable. The converted receiver from Wake Forest was signed off the practice squad, took zero practice reps during the week and played in his very first NFL game. The fact that he even completed a single pa s is almost miraculous. The lost to the 28-27 on Sunday, but rookie safety deserves a shoutout for what he accomplished in the losing effort. Chinn scoredtwodefensive touchdowns for the Panthers (both fumble returns), and they came on back-to-back snaps. He is only the third player in NFL history to score two fumble-return touchdowns in a game and the first to do it since since Fred "Dippy" Evans accomplished the feat in 1948.Chinn's second touchdown gave the Panthers a 21-10 lead, which they ultimately blew in the fourth quarter. Still, Chinn finished with a game-high 13 tackles (seven solo) and took a significant step forward in the race for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. The second-rounder out of Southern Illinois has been a versatile peg in Carolina's defense, logging snaps at multiple positions acro s the unit. He's making head-turning plays and is now on track to become a household name by the end of his first profe sional season. As he normally does this time of year, running back is steamrolling his way through the NFL. He e sentially put the away in two quarters, eclipsing 100 yards and scoringthreetouchdowns before the halftime gun sounded. Henry would go on to finish with 178 yards on 27 carries (6.6 YPC) in what would turn out to be a 45-26 victory over the Colts.The Titans fell to these same Colts by 17 points Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey just two weeks ago, but they looked like a completely different team in Sunday's rematch. Although Henry rushed for over 100 yards in the first meeting, he did not find the end zone. After his three-touchdown performance in Week 12, Henry now has 12 touchdowns on the season. He joins Earl Campbell as the only other player in franchise history to rush for 10-plus touchdowns in three straight seasons. Henry's scoring is the biggest reason why the Titans are 8-3 and currently alone atop the AFC South standings. quarterback returned to the starting lineup on Sunday, but he did not look good in a 20-3 lo s to the . Darnold has now failed to throw a touchdown pa s infourstraight games played, as the Jets sink deeper into their perceived tank for the No. 1 pick in next year's draft. He also threw two picks against the Dolphins, bringing his Kevin Garnett Jersey season total up to eight interceptions compared to just three touchdown pa ses. With the Jets sitting at 0-11 and struggling to compete, it's abundantly clear that drastic changes are coming this offseason. It was a foregone conclusion that Adam Gase would not be the head coach in 2021, but now it seems likely that Darnold will be moving on as well. Although injuries/illne s have kept him from completing a full season in the NFL, the former third-overall pick is only 23 years old and has flashed some potential while playing in an abysmal offense. If the Jets do, in fact, move on from Darnold, he'll be a buzz-worthy reclamation project for whichever team picks him up next. head coach Kyle Shanahan has taken a definitive lead in his rivalry with head coach Sean McVay. The two coaches have met eight times since taking over their respective NFC West squads in 2017, and Shanahan has wonfiveof them. With a 23-20 win on Sunday, Shanahan's 49ers have swept McVay's Rams each of the past two seasons.San Francisco's NFC title defense hasn't gone according to plan, but when you consider all of the injuries the 49ers have dealt with this season, it's pretty amazing that they're only one game under .500 at 5-6. That is a direct result of Shanahan's coaching staff (namely defensive coordinator Robert Saleh). McVay is a brilliant coach in his own right, but you have to give Shanahan the edge at this point. Between these two, a Super Bowl-winning head coach in Seattle's Pete Carroll and another up-and-coming offensive mind in Arizona's Kliff Kingsbury, it's no wonder the NFC West is so competitive this season. Rejoice, Cleveland! Your Browns won't have a losing record this year. By notching their eighth victory of the season on Sunday a 27-25 win over the Cleveland clinched a final winning percentage of at least .500 and snapped a streak of12consecutive losing seasons. The last time the Browns finished 8-8 or better (2007), Romeo Jordan McLaughlin Jersey Crennel was their head coach and was their quarterback. They finished 10-6 that year but didn't make the playoffs; Cleveland's postseason drought dates all the way back to 2002.There's a good chance the Browns break that unfortunate streak, too, this season. The Browns have pulled ahead of the in the AFC North and are tied with the Titans and for the third best record in the conference. If the playoffs were to start today, they would claim the No. 5 seed and visit Buffalo in the wild-card round. Cleveland will make it there, so long as the ground game keeps rolling. Running backs (719 yards) and (706 yards) both rank among the NFL's top-10 rushers this season, despite the fact that Chubb mi sed a solid chunk of time due to injury.The Las Vegas Raiders are the only team that has defeated the this year, yet they're currently outside the playoff picture looking in at 6-5. The biggest factor holding the Raiders back is their defense. After losing Jimmy Butler Jersey 43-6 to the on Sunday, they've now surrendered at least30points in seven games this season (tied with the Jets for most in the NFL). Las Vegas ranks among the bottom five teams in the league in terms of points allowed per game (29.0). While the Raiders defense certainly needs some work, turnovers on offense have not helped the cause. Quarterback , who has succe sfully limited his interceptions in 2020, leads the NFL with eight fumbles lost this season. Three of them came against the Falcons in Week 12, and Carr also threw a pick-six. As a team, the Raiders trail only the with 11 lost fumbles. Las Vegas' lack of ball security, combined with a below-average defense, is a recipe for disaster which we saw on display versus the Falcons.Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver had a legendary first-half performance in a 27-24 win over the on Sunday. Hill had210receiving yards by halftime, matching a figure that had only been accomplished once before in the past 30 years ( , 2018). He would go on to finish the game with 269 yards and three touchdowns an 13 receptions. Hill is the only receiver over 1,000 yards so far this season and also leads the NFL with a career-high 13 touchdown receptions.Hill, a former fifth-round draft pick out of West Alabama, has far outgrown the "return specialist" label that he brought to the NFL in 2016. Not only is he a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has helped him become one of the most lethal offensive weapons acro s the league. does a lot of breathtaking things at the quarterback position, but some of them are only po sible due to Hill's world-cla s speed and athleticism.
