Gregg Williams has his first victory as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns with an impressive 28-16 walloping of the visiting Atlanta Falcons. It was perhaps the most complete game a Cleveland Browns team has churned out in years.

Here are some instant observations from the win:

Freddie Kitchens drew up a nice game plan

Baker Mayfield came out hot, completing all seven of his passes on the first two drives, including a TD strike to Rashard Higgins. Mayfield found six different receivers on those drives.

It was Cleveland’s first touchdown and extra point conversion in the 1st quarter all season. Mayfield wasn’t done, however. The No. 1 overall pick completed his first 13 attempts, and the first incompletion was a deliberate throwaway. Receivers were getting open on creative, well-conceived routes. The effective run game kept the Falcons defense guessing, including the rare NFL appearance of the flexbone formation.

Nick Chubb’s big day

Chubb torched the Falcons defense for over 200 total yards. The second-round rookie was a dynamic force in both the running and passing game, scoring a TD in each. He caught three passes for 33 yards, including a touchdown.

Oh yeah, Chubb ran the ball …

That’s the longest run in franchise history. Chubb finished with 176 yards on 20 carries.

Great goal-line stand

The Falcons offense had a chance to cut the lead early in the fourth quarter. First-and-goal from the Browns 1-yard line after a (terrible) pass interference call on T.J. Carrie turned into zero points thanks to a great stand by the defense. Jabrill Peppers made a smashing stop, the pass coverage held and the defensive line won the battles up front to deny the Atlanta offense from cutting into the 28-10 lead.

Energy level

If you didn’t watch the game, it’s hard to describe the difference in the Browns and how they carried themselves against the Falcons. Williams’ team played with a heretofore unknown level of confidence and positive energy.

Players were running to help one another up after plays, even ones which were negative on the Browns ledger. There was visible team chemistry on both sides of the ball. They played like they expected to win from the opening drive. And they did just that.
