Cleveland Browns vs Atlanta Falcons Game Preview

Why Cleveland Browns Will Win

Wait, so is Jacoby Brissett the possible answer at quarterback?

That was floated out there by some this week, and …

No. Forgetting everything else, Deshaun Watson is the man when it’s time, but Brissett has been a wonderful surprise to go along with the incredible running game.

The Browns lead the NFL in rushing – they commit to it and keep hammering – and Atlanta has been just okay against the run. It got hammered by New Orleans and had problems against Seattle’s ground attack, and neither one have anything like the Browns are bringing.

And the Cleveland passing attack is doing its part, too, at least in the offensive scheme.

Why Atlanta Falcons Will Win

The Falcons are bringing a little bit for the ground attack, too.

Fifth in the NFL in yards, Marcus Mariota is making plays on the move, Cordarrelle Patterson has been a problem – he’s banged up, though – and this is where the injuries on the Cleveland defensive front might turn into a problem.

The Falcon passing attack hasn’t been able to get rolling, but Drake London looks like a star in the making, TE Kyle Pitts needs to be used even more, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Cleveland has been too efficient and too good at controlling games. It milks the clock, is among the best in the NFL at getting the defense off the field, and that will all come into play in this.

The Falcons won’t be able to get enough out of the passing game, and the Browns don’t turn it over enough.

New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons Game Preview

Why New Orleans Saints Will Win

Where are the guys? Where’s the talent on Atlanta?

It’s an interesting mix of players full of youth and potential, but it might take a little bit.

There’s not going to be much of a Falcon running game to worry about when Marcus Mariota isn’t taking off, and the defense that allowed the fourth-most points in the NFL now gets a revamped Saint attack that added a – maybe – healthy Michael Thomas and Chris Olave to the receiving corps.

The defense has the secondary to clamp down on the mediocre Falcon receivers – at least until Drake London gets going – and again, there’s not enough of a running game to make up for it. However …

– Week 1 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Atlanta Falcons Will Win

Don’t be stunned if Mariota is dangerous.

He’s got the experience and ability to at least keep the chains moving, and he’s going to have to pull a few rabbits out of the hat to keep things moving.

On the other side, the Falcons need to get the pass rush going right away. The Saint offensive front is questionable going into the season – it’s fine, but not amazing – and the running game might not be there if Jameis Winston isn’t finding ways to spread the short-range passing game around.

There’s one problem …

– Week 1 NFL Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Atlanta isn’t really going to have much of a pass rush.

New Orleans might not be all that flashy, but it’ll be effective enough offensively to go along with a nasty defense that’s going to hammer down on anything Atlanta tries to do through the air.

The Falcons will have a few nice moments helped by three interceptions, but the offense won’t do enough to capitalize on the chances.

What games are the ones each NFL team has to look out for? It’s a LONG season with plenty of lulls, so which games are set up to be a letdown moment for every team?

Predicting each outcome takes into account location, scheduling fatigue, matchup intensity, and much more. These are the games – including the sandwich battles between two giant opponents – that each team should probably win, but might have issues.

WATCH: Top highlights from Kyle Pitts’ rookie season

Check out all of the best plays from Kyle Pitts’ impressive rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons

It’s rare to see a tight end selected in the top five of the NFL draft, but Kyle Pitts is no ordinary player.

A dominant superstar at Florida, Pitts impressed the Atlanta Falcons enough for them to spend the No. 4 overall pick on him in the 2021 NFL draft. He quickly lived up to the hype, proving himself to be the matchup nightmare the Falcons were hoping he would be for opposing defenses.

Pitts topped 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie, flashing the rare athleticism that should quickly make him one of the most formidable pass-catchers in the entire league.

Relive his impressive rookie season with some of Pitts’ best highlights from last year:

Meet the Atlanta Falcons’ 2022 NFL draft class

Check out every pick for the Atlanta Falcons from the 2022 NFL draft

The Atlanta Falcons went into the 2022 NFL draft in full rebuilding mode, having moved on from some of the most iconic faces in franchise history over the past two seasons.

After trading away both Julio Jones and Matt Ryan, the Falcons enter a new era under head coach Arthur Smith, with a new starting quarterback for the first time in more than a decade.

The Dirty Birds are still searching for their identity, and this year’s draft gave them a chance to load up on young talent that will reflect that philosophy moving forward.

Here are all of the Falcons’ picks from the 2022 NFL draft:

Why Falcons fans should be excited about Arnold Ebiketie

Breaking down what Penn State pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie brings to the Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons went into the 2022 NFL draft with huge needs at multiple positions on both sides of the ball, and none more pressing than at the edges of their defensive front.

After opting to help the offense with their top-10 selection in the first round, the Dirty Birds turned their attention to that edge defender spot to kick off their Day 2, spending the No. 38 overall pick on Penn State’s Arnold Ebiketie.

An explosive edge rusher with a knack for making big plays once he gets to the opposing quarterback, Ebiketie was projected by many to be a first-round talent, making him a potential bargain for the Falcons in the second round. Even in a class loaded with talented edge rushers, Ebiketie could have easily found himself among the top 32 picks.

His wait will be Atlanta’s gain, as the Falcons grabbed a dynamic sack artist who immediately becomes their most dangerous threat to the passer. He has the technique and pass-rushing moves to make an immediate impact, even if he’s eased into the speed of the NFL game as a rotational player in his rookie season.

It shouldn’t take long for Ebiketie’s pass-rushing prowess to earn him full-time snaps for the Falcons, and his ability to knock the ball loose and create takeaways should be a welcome addition for a defense that’s desperate for more big plays.
