Falcons flatten Browns 20-10

CLEVELAND (AP) — Atlanta defensive end Kroy Biermann’s spectacular interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter sent the Falcons to a 20-10 win over the gimpy Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

After pressuring Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme, Biermann leaped to deflect the pass and then made a diving headfirst catch like a seasoned wide receiver. Knowing he had not been touched, Biermann scrambled to his feet and rumbled 31 yards on a twisting, turning effort to give the Falcons a 20-10 lead with 4:01 left.

Matt Ryan threw a 45-yard TD pass to Roddy White as the Falcons (4-1) won their fourth straight. Michael Turner rushed for 140 yards.

The Browns (1-4) lost starting quarterback Seneca Wallace just before half with an ankle injury.

Cleveland picked up just 48 yards rushing.
