Interesting Stats / Notes
- QB Baker Mayfield - His 1,090 passing yards are the most by a Brown in their first four career starts.
- DE Myles Garrett - Garrett’s seven sacks are the most by a Brown through the first seven weeks of a season and his 14 career sacks are the fourth-most sacks by a Brown in their first two seasons.
- A rushing score by any Brown will give the team 10 on the year and will be the most by a Browns team through the first eight games of a season since 1974 (10).
- With another successful two-point conversion, the 2018 Browns would set the franchise record for most in a single season (five).
