Despite no sacks vs. Browns, Falcons are itching to rev up pass rush

CLEVELAND -- At least twice against the Cleveland Browns, the Atlanta Falcons put pass-rushers Vic Beasley Jr., Takk McKinley, and Bruce Irvin on the field at the same time.

The speed rushers working in unison didn't exactly work in a 28-16 road loss, especially with the way Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield escaped pressure. But maybe the trio of rushers is something the Falcons can look forward to utilizing over the final seven games.

Irvin, who was released by the Oakland Raiders, signed this week a one-year contract with his hometown Falcons that is worth $1.
