Preview:

While the Browns enjoyed a "mini-bye" following their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football, Cleveland's defense was dealt a potential blow when All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett was involved in a single-car crash in Medina County on Monday. Having suffered "a shoulder sprain, biceps strain, minor lacerations as well as some bumps and bruises to various other body parts," according to the team, Garrett is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup and is expected to be a game-time decision.

Should Garrett play, he'll be tasked with helping slow down an explosive Atlanta offense that features running back Cordarrelle Patterson, second-year tight end Kyle Pitts and 2022 first-round pick Drake London. Through three weeks, the Falcons offense ranks eighth in Football Outsiders' DVOA statistic with an average of 26.7 points per game.

On the other side of the ball, Cleveland's offense will look to take advantage of an Atlanta rushing defense that ranks 27th in DVOA. In other words, look for a healthy dose of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt as the Browns look to keep pace in the AFC North.
