Talking about what not to do in a ball game late both Mike Pettine of the Browns and Mike Smith of the Falcons needed a Port-A-Potty on the sideline. The Falcons with a 3rd and 2 at the Browns 34 goes for a long pass stopping the clock. Yes the Dirty Birds hit the potential game-winning FG but they stopped the clock doing so. That left 44 seconds for the Browns to march around 50 yards for a potential game-winning FG.

On the ensuing kickoff the Browns with 44 seconds remaining did just that methodically going down field via the vertical passing game. Browns QB Brian Hoyer after almost giving the game away on two occasions made play after play and Falcons they are throwing to the Browns #12 dba Josh Gordon...unbelievable!

The Browns down 24-23 with five seconds remaining gets a 37-yd FG by Billy Cundiff and the Dawg Pound survives 26-24.  Hoyer was 23 for 40 for 322 yards and three INT's. Matty Ice for the Dirty Birds was 27 for 43 for two TD's and an INT.

It was the Dawg Pound run game behind former #DawgSaturday RB Isiah Crowell and Terrence West who rushed for 150 yards on 26 carries. Josh Gordon fresh off his 10-8 with a three-hour lunch break on a used-car lot selling automobiles grabbed eight Wilson pigskins for 120 yards. He was vital in the Browns passing game as the Falcons had to roll coverage to J.G. as he is at the top of every Sunday for Sunday problems!

The "Peach Drop 3" in Julio, Roddy, and Devin combined for 204 yards on eighteen grabs and a TD. The Falcons missed opportunities early cost them dearly late.

The Browns stay the course moving to 7-4 while the Falcons fall to 4-7 and out of 1st place in the NFC south giving that back to the Saints. Browns tied with Pittsburgh at 7-4 stays right behind the AFC north leading Bengals at 7-3-1.
