Beat the teams you should beat.

That’s a real key for teams looking to successful, including in the NFL.

The Browns are 2-1 with that as they head to Atlanta to play the Falcons on Sunday, having defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers while losing to the New York Jets.

Yes, they should be 3-0, but a total collapse in the final 1:55 cost them dearly against he Jets.

The Falcons are another team the Browns should beat. Once a juggernaut with a great quarterback, they are now in a major rebuilding project. If the Browns don’t win and improve to 3-1, guaranteeing them of no worse than a tie for first place in the AFC North, then they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Really, the Browns almost have to win — they can’t afford to lose another winnable game — because keep in mind that their schedule is greatly backloaded in that their toughest opponents are all yet to come in the last 13 games.
