Either that or they boxed that game.
Browns were very lucky that Falcons coach Mike Smith doesn't have a clue (like usual)
He leaves Cleveland with all their timeouts, and then, and THEN, to compound his mistake, he has them in a D which gives vast yardage in the middle of the field to protect the sidelines. Except, Cleveland had all their timeouts, so Cleveland didn't need sideline routes to stop the clock.
The entire sequence, from burning their own timeout rather than making Cleveland burn one, to the 3rd and 2 call (a back shoulder fade to Devin Hester 20 yards downfield? Really? REALLY?), to the defense after Cleveland got the ball back - that was a series of the most incompetent decisions I have ever seen a head coach make.
