Cleveland Browns Upset Atlanta Falcons With Close Field Goal (GIF)
By Josh Hill
The Cleveland Brows welcomed back Josh Gordon this week, but it was Brian Hoyer who was the star on Sunday afternoon.
When the Cleveland Browns lost last week and then started out Sunday’s game shaky against the Atlanta Falcons, many thought that their bubble had popped.

That wasn’t the case though, as the Browns went down but not out against the Falcons. On what would be the final drive of the game, Brian Hoyer led the Browns down the field in miraculous fashion to set up a game-winning Billy Cundiff field goal.
The win give the Browns a boost they needed coming off a loss last week, as the team now sits at 7-4 and tied for the lead in the AFC North. The Cincinnati Bengals sit in first place at the moment, and if the playoffs started today then the Browns would be out.
But a loss by the Pittsburgh Steelers next week would propel the Browns into second place and into the playoffs, but there is a lot of football left to be played.
However, just the fact that the Browns are in a position this late in November to make the playoffs is extraordinary to fathom.
