Interesting Stats / Notes

• LT Joe Thomas - For the first time since Dec. 31, 2006, someone other than Thomas will start at left tackle for the Browns. In the third quarter against the Titans, Thomas saw his consecutive snaps streak end at 10,363, believed to be the longest streak in NFL history. The 10-time Pro Bowler has started all 167 career games and hadn’t missed an offensive play since being selected by the Browns with the third overall pick in the 2007 draft. He left the game with a tricepstear and was placed on injured reserve on Monday. He has started the past 167 games at left tackle, which is the longest active streak in the NFL among offensive linemen and fourth-longest among all NFL players.
• OLB Christian Kirksey - Is nine tackles away from tying Pepper Johnson for ninth on the Browns’ all-time tackles list (339).
• K Zane Gonzalez - He had 54-yard field goal with 47 seconds left to send the game to overtime against Tennessee. The field goal was the longest by a rookie in Browns history.
• The Browns did not allow a touchdown against the Titans, marking the first time the team hasn’t allowed a touchdown since a 24-3 victory at Cincinnati on Nov. 6, 2014. Last season, the Browns finished 31st in the NFL in both total defense and rushing defense. Through seven games this year, the Browns rank ninth in total defense and sixth in rushing defense. The Browns haven’t had a top-10 rushing defense since 1992 and a top-eight defense since 1994.
