LOS ANGELES — We're breaking down the most important stats from the Browns' 47-42 loss against the Chargers.

531 - The Browns outgained the Chargers, 531-493, on a day that featured big play after big play from both offenses.

56 - Both sides combined to score 56 points in the second half, which also featured three lead changes and 41 points scored in the final quarter.

52 - Nick Chubb led Browns running backs with 161 rushing yards, and 52 of them came from a 52-yard touchdown that featured Chubb swatting away several Chargers defenders.
