Nice WIN over Falcons

The Browns also "can" throw the ball, maybe slightly better than the Falcons, but not very well.  Brissett has one more TD pass than INTs and he's completing 62% of his passes...most are not deep down the field, either.  He's not very mobile and is the king of the check-down.  I think this game is all stuffing their run early and giving them 3rd and longs that force them to throw.  I don't think they will be successful against the Bengals if that is the case.  

Yep

The quicker we can get them out of their comfort zone the better it will be. We need to put them in a hole early and keep them there.
