STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES – Both teams had tight, Week 1 games. … Three turnovers, two on crucial interceptions by QB Jake Delhomme, cost Browns in 17-14 loss at Tampa Bay. … Short week for Chiefs, who set punt return records and got big plays from rookie WR Dexter McCluster and DB Javier Arenas in Monday night upset of San Diego. … Browns and Chiefs combined for 75 points in thriller last season in game featuring two TD kickoff returns of 100 and 103 yards by Browns Mr. Do-It-All Joshua Cribbs and Jerome Harrison’s breakout 286-yard rushing performance – third-highest in NFL history. … Delhomme’s rough opener – he has 20 INTs in his last 12 games – worsened by ankle injury that cost him practice time this week. … Browns may have to go with backup QB Seneca Wallace, who went 5-9 as occasional starter in seven seasons for Seattle. … Cribbs and Wallace played together last week in certain packages, and Browns may be forced to get more creative against Chiefs defense now being overlooked by former Cleveland coach Romeo Crennel. … Browns have lost five straight home openers and are 1-10 in them since 1999. … Chiefs last started 2-0 in 2005. … Browns NT Shaun Rogers missed practice this week with ankle injury.
