No, for a couple of reasons.

A) The selfish one - you're in a lost season and you're in the midst of an historic performance. Let the man get his TD, he earned it.

B) The pragmatic one - you're more likely to botch that FG than you are to have the Chiefs drive for a TD on you. A blocked kick, a flubbed snap, a bad exchange while attempting to run the clock down; these are all things that can happen in a football game.

If you have an open route to the end-zone and you're in a tie game, you take the TD. Don't get cute and down it to set up a field goal, take the lead and play D. If the Browns had a 3 pt lead or something (like the Westbrook game), then it's a great decision. But if you're tied and the TD is there, you take it.
