Sammy being out is a concern; he makes some really outstanding catches for the team.
Looking at team statistics is fine however I think comparing the common teams along with relative strength of schedule is important.
Cleveland played the NFC East and AFC South, Chiefs played the NFC South and AFC East. The Browns played a third place schedule and the Chiefs a first place schedule.
The Chiefs have played and beaten every team in the playoffs except for CLE, GB and LAR. And did that on the road, which doesn't mean as much this year however it's what they did.
Yeah, the Browns can win and they might. Trying to compare statistics, especially when teams have been playing catch up with the Chiefs all year doesn't seem productive.
