Browns' lopsided W pleasant rarity

It almost seemed too good to be true.

The Browns, late in the fourth quarter Sunday against the Chiefs, firmly in control of a lopsided victory, 30-7. As a Browns fan, allow me to repeat that - firmly in control of a lopsided victory.

This is one we should enjoy, because needless to say it hasn't happened all that often since the Browns' return in 1999. In fact, here is a list of Browns wins by at least 14 points in the last 14 seasons:

2012
Week 14: Defeated Chiefs, 30-7
2010
Week 9: Defeated Patriots, 34-14
2009
Week 16: Defeated Raiders, 23-9
2008
Week 6: Defeated Giants, 35-14
2007
Week 4: Defeated Ravens, 27-13
2005
Week 11: Defeated Dolphins, 22-0
2004
Week 1: Defeated Ravens, 20-3
Week 6: Defeated Bengals, 34-17
2003
Week 5: Defeated Steelers, 33-13
Week 11: Defeated Cardinals, 44-6
2002
Week 7: Defeated Texans, 34-17
2001
Week 11: Defeated Bengals, 18-0
2000
Week 2: Defeated Bengals, 24-7

So if it's only been 13 times in 14 seasons, chances are I'm not alone in wanting to savor this one.

Here's to hoping there's many more to come in the not-too-distant future.
