Patterson (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Browns, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Patterson was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday with an official listing of "resting player/knee" before being a limited participant at Friday's session, earning a questionable designation for Week 4 in the process. The issue won't keep Patterson from game action, though, and he's now poised to lead the Falcons backfield yet again. Through three games this season, he's totaled 53 touches for 330 yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns.

After a third quarter interception by Marcus Mariota, #Falcons coach Arthur Smith had his offense run it 14(!) times in a row — including a TD drive. Message delivered.

That is how you move down the field!

After forcing a Browns punt, Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus found  himself wide open for a 42-yard gain. An additional 15 yards was tacked on due to a facemask penalty on Cleveland, which brought the Falcons offense to the Browns’ 35-yard line.

A Younghoe Koo field goal gave the Falcons a 23-20 lead late in the fourth quarter

Kyle Pitts: 34 snaps, 13 routes, 4 targets Parker Hesse: 48 snaps, 10 routes, 1 target

WR Drake London has been a total non-factor today. Denzel Ward picks off a pass London could've had there. #Browns in business

Tyler Allgeier turns on the jets and bulldozes his way to the five yard line. Falcons knocking on the door after a 41-yard gain.

Arthur Smith said they knew coming in this was going to be "a big boy fight" and he always felt that the team that ran the ball the best today was going to win. Well, that held true. Falcons outran the Browns 202 to 177.

Falcons WR Bryan Edwards again the first Atlanta player on the field warming up, much like he was last week. Will be curious to see if he is up today.

Good job by Brissett cutting outside from Mykal Walker and Rashaan Evans with pump fake. TD. 10-7, ATL.

The Atlanta Falcons have now won two straight games following their 23-20 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4. Sunday’s win was anything but easy, though.

The Browns were in position to steal the game late in the fourth quarter, when Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett came up with a momentum-shifting sack. Cornerback Dee Alford did the rest, intercepting Browns QB Jacoby Brissett to secure the win.

Wow Richie Grant was so close to blocking that kick

They should run that wide-open Olamide Zaccheaus play more often. Just one man's opinion.

Arnold Ebiketie has had a heck of a first half for the Falcons. Doesn't have a ton of stats but he's been getting pressure on the quarterback consistently. Including in a critical moment on that last drive.

Lorenzo Carter has been really good for Atlanta thus far in 2022

Good awareness by Mariota on that second down play. Extended the play and found Parker Hesse for 22. Then, hands it off to CP who hustles into the front corner of the endzone. Falcons extend their lead 10-0 in the 1Q.

Had an interesting conversation with Kaleb McGary after the Falcons' win. One of the things I asked him about were the questions about him the last 6 months. McGary: "There have been questions about me since I got here." Truth: McGary is playing really, really well right now.

aaaand Avery Williams didn't want to be left out of the RB party. Breaks away for a 21-yard run. Flips the field.

Not the start the Falcons needed. Go three-and-out, but defense picks them up and forces a Browns three-and-out. Good stop by Anthony Rush on third down.
