In Week 4, the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Cleveland Browns for the first time since 2010. Sunday’s 23-20 victory came down to the final seconds when Falcons CB Dee Alford came away with a game-clinching interception of Browns QB Jacoby Brissett.
Atlanta now sits at 2-2 on the season, with a huge divisional game coming up next week against the NFC South-leading Buccaneers. Let’s see how Falcons fans are reacting to the win on Twitter.

Arthur Smith pretty much admitted he doesn’t trust Mariota with those drives at the end of the game so we SHOULD see Ridder soon 🤔

That's how you play as a team. Your starting QB not playing well. But everyone had hos back with finding a way to pound the ball when they needed to. And closing out game with another 2 and ending int to go a long with it.

don’t let this win distract you from the fact that Ridder should be starting next game

Arthur Smith was fired up after that pick you gotta love it

People blaming Arthur Smith for this instead of Marcus Mariota is comical to me. Smith is trying to. Mariota just can't get him the ball. Play Ridder and Pitts will be putting up NUMBERS. https://t.co/9R7jZ2NuC5

And yes, Desmond Ridder should still be starting.
The Falcons won despite Mariota’s best effort. 36% completion rate today. 41.4 rating.
Let’s unlock the offense.

Matt Ryan currently leads the league in turnovers with 8, who’s right behind him? Marcus Mariota, with 7.
