After opening the season at home against the Saints and then closing out a two-game road swing on the West Coast against the Rams and Seahawks, the Falcons will be back in Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Week 4. They won’t be returning home to an easy matchup.
That’s because they’ll be facing one of the AFC’s most talented teams, the Cleveland Browns, and I’m still not used to thinking of the Browns as a good team. Cleveland has one of the most gifted running back rooms in the league, plenty of playmakers on offense, and a very good defense brimming with young stars and would-be stars.
