Sunday’s game between the Vikings and the Browns at the Metrodome was close, even in statistical categories, something reflected in the final score, a 31-27 win for Cleveland.

Still, there are three telling stats in the game that mattered. Here they are.

4

The number of turnovers created by the Vikings – one fumble and three interceptions – that normally would lead a team to victory, but somehow didn’t.

3

The number of touchdowns and interceptions thrown by Browns QB Brian Hoyer, previously an unheard of backup.

0

The number of sacks and tackles by Vikings DE Jared Allen.
