What happened: Kansas City sits atop the league list with 57 missed tackles forced through Thursday of Week 4. Cleveland is next at 50, while Chicago, Tampa Bay and Detroit follow at 37, 35 and 34, respectively.

Why it matters: Cleveland's 27-24 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday pushed the Browns to 4-3 and extended their winning streak to three games, giving them a fourth outing on the board. Kansas City's total stands out because it was built in three games, not four, leaving the Chiefs ahead of the field on both volume and pace.

By the numbers: Chiefs: 57 missed tackles forced in 3 games; Browns: 50 in 4; Bears: 37 in 3; Buccaneers: 35 in 3; Lions: 34 in 3. Browns are 4-3 with a three-game winning streak.

What to watch: Week 5 will bring a fourth game for Kansas City, Chicago, Tampa Bay and Detroit, giving the leaderboard a more even sample. Cleveland already has the extra game, so the next round will show whether the Browns can keep pressure on the Chiefs at the top.
