  1. Aaron Rodgers is the only quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns against the Rams, who have not allowed a single Top 12 quarterback performance against them yet this season. Josh McCown has thrown for multiple touchdowns in four straight starts.
  1. The Browns look to have a three-headed monster at running back right now. Duke Johnson once again led the team with 37 snaps and had 12 touches for 56 yards. Isaiah Crowell took 13 touches and produced 41 total yards on his 29 snaps and Robert Turbin had 10 touches for 27 yards on his 18 snaps.
  1. Over the last three weeks, the Rams are surrendering just 70 yards rushing per game to running backs on 3.6 yards per carry. They are however allowing 60.3 receiving yards per game to the position.
  1. Travis Benjamin has received 10-plus targets in four straight games, has 75-plus yards receiving five times already this year and has 75-yards or a touchdown in every single game. The opposing No. 1 outside receiver has a touchdown or 99 yards in four straight against the Rams.
  1. Only Gary Barnidge and Rob Gronkowski have 400-plus yards receiving and five scores this year at the tight end position.
