Browns’ early success shouldn’t make the Falcons regret hiring Kevin Stefanski

Writer Jason Kandel argues that the Atlanta Falcons should not regret hiring Kevin Stefanski despite the Cleveland Browns starting 3-1 under new head coach Todd Monken. The Browns won three consecutive games, including a 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, sparking discussion over whether Cleveland won the coaching split.

Kandel contends that both teams benefited from parting ways, noting that Monken inherited an improved offensive cast while Stefanski works with promising talent in Atlanta like Michael Penix Jr. and Bijan Robinson. Although Atlanta holds a 1-2 record, Kandel emphasizes that backup Cooper Rush started both losses before Penix led a blowout victory over the Packers.
