It wouldn't be believable if the numbers weren't there to prove it. But they are. 

The Cleveland Browns, with a rotation circus of quarterbacks, have somehow outscored the Kansas City Chiefs in total points on the season. 

Cleveland has scored 227 total points while Kansas City has netted 225, according to ESPN's stats. 

It isn't something to scream to the top of the mountain, but it goes to show that the Browns offense hasn't been nearly as bad as it has looked at times. 

Without Nick Chubb. And now without Deshaun Watson, the Browns have managed to put enough points on the board to outpace the league's best quarterback. 

It could spell a good omen. 

Cleveland has a defense that can take it places if the Browns get into the postseason. And to craft wins getting to that point, it will start with the offense controlling possessions and not turning the ball over too much. 

In essence, all the Browns have to do is control the pace of play. The defense can do the rest. But somehow in the process, the Browns have managed to outscore one of the NFL's most deadly offenses. 

It isn't a guarantee that this season will be one where the Browns bring home a Super Bowl trophy. But it could mean that the Browns are still far better than advertised.
