STAMFORD, Conn. – August 26, 2021 – The Atlanta Falcons take on the Cleveland Browns in the final NFL preseason game from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga., this Sunday, Aug. 29, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Led by 2020 AP NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski and 2018 No. 1 overall draft pick quarterback Baker Mayfield, Cleveland won their first playoff game in 25 years last season after finishing the year with an 11-5 record, their first double-digit win season since 2007.

After going 4-12 in 2020, Falcons first-year head coach Arthur Smith and quarterback Matt Ryan look to bring Atlanta back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
