On Sunday afternoon, the Cleveland Browns (6-4) will be taking on the Atlanta Falcons (4-6), who have won two games in a row. The Browns are currently second in the AFC North, while the Falcons are atop the NFC South.
The Browns had their three-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday when they lost 23-7 to the Houston Texans. They turned the ball over twice in that loss and they only ended up with 58 rushing yards.
The Browns have the seventh-best defense in the league right now by only giving up 19.5 points per game. Quarterback Brian Hoyer has 2,542 passing yards this season with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. Fourth-year wide receiver Andrew Hawkins has caught 45 passes through 10 games for 601 yards and two touchdowns.
Two weeks ago, the Falcons were able to win their second game in a row when they defeated the Carolina Panthers 19-17 on the road. Their defense did well in that game to hold the Falcons to just 346 total yards.
The Falcons are sixth in the league in passing through 10 games by throwing for 271.2 yards per game. Quarterback Matt Ryan has completed 65.4 percent of his passes this season for 2,793 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Wide receiver Julio Jones has had another solid year by catching 67 passes for 912 yards and three scores.
