Browns Vs Falcons: How To Watch, What You Need To Know
Atlanta is starting to hit its stride. Can Cleveland pick up another win against the surging team?
CLEVELAND — The Atlanta Falcons come into town on Sunday, hoping to add more misery to a dysfunctional Cleveland Browns season. The suddenly .500 Falcons have won their last three games and will come into FirstEnergy Stadium with a ton of momentum.
The same cannot be said for Cleveland. The Browns have been publicly righting the ship, quelling internal turmoil between coaches, and protecting cherished No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield.
Despite improving dramatically from previous seasons (by winning two games!), the Browns still sit near the bottom of the AFC standings, above only the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders. That win-loss record, along with high-profile disputes between members of the staff, led general manager John Dorsey to fire head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

Dorsey installed defensive coordinator Gregg Williams as interim head coach last week and will spend the off-season scouring the ranks of coaching staffs to find a permanent replacement. Until then, the Browns will need to finish the season and, hopefully, show promise heading into next year.
To do that, they'll need to win some more games and be competitive with each opponent. The .500 Falcons could be a perfect test. Atlanta isn't far removed from a Super Bowl appearance and is still one of the more talented teams in the NFC. If the Browns can make Sunday's game entertaining, that's a good sign for the future of the team.
