5 Cleveland Browns whose stock is up after upset win over Falcons

The Cleveland Browns bear market turned into a bull after a decisive win over the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s whose stock rose the most.

When’s the last time the Cleveland Browns celebrated a fun win–at The Factory of Sadness, aka, FirstEnergy Stadium.

Cleveland, not given much of a shot in the game, outperformed the Falcons in every facet of the game. Heck, even the coaching staff was better!

For some reason, the Browns just play well against the Falcons and this contest conjured up images of that memorable 2002 win that put the Browns into the playoffs–the only time since 1999.

That game was won with a goal line stand, and this game also featured a goal line stand, with the Browns holding their ground early in the fourth quarter on a series of plays that ultimately took the life out the Falcons.

There’s still much work to do, but there’s optimism in Cleveland for the first time in a month. The team looks invigorated and more disciplined with Gregg Williams calling the shot as interim head coach.

Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens is doing something Browns fans have begged for: Using his running backs!

In victory, Cleveland improved to 3-6-1. The dream of the playoffs has long been dead, but at least this team has given the fan base a reason to watch for the rest of the season.

These five players, especially, greatly improved their stocks and will be worth watching when the Browns return from the Bye Week Nov. 23 on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals.
