2. The Cleveland secondary

While the Browns might have bounced back against a bad Steelers passing attack there are reasons to believe this secondary is in trouble this season. We watched the consistently blown assignments that allowed an improbable Jets comeback in week two and gave Mitch Trubisky chance after chance he couldn’t capitalize on in week three.

This is a defense that can consistently be beaten and hasn’t been tested by a team with the pass catchers that Atlanta currently has on the roster. Kyle Pitts and Drake London should have no problem consistently being open against this defense.

The only concern will be which version of Mariota is going to show up for Atlanta on Sunday? The quarterback Atlanta watched in weeks one and three or the player who was unable to get the ball to open receivers in week two against the Rams? If Mariota is able to play close to the level he did last week the Falcons should have zero problems moving the ball consistently throughout this game.
