This one hurt. The Cleveland Browns drop a winnable game against the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 23-20. It was not head coach Kevin Stefanski’s best in terms of playcalling, and it is hard to stop the run when you are missing three starting defensive linemen and your starting MIKE linebacker.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett returned to the form of the backup quarterback he is, the Falcons ran for 202 yards with most of them coming in the second half, and the Browns wasted a couple of redzone opportunities. It was not a great showing across the board, but it happens in the NFL.
