The New England Patriots are still perfect on the season, moving to 8-0 after handing the Browns (2-5) a 27-13 loss at Gillette Stadium.
Really, this was a game of miscues by the Browns in the early going and the Patriots taking advantage of those mistakes. Cleveland had a string of three offensive plays that all resulted in turnovers. The first was a fumble by Nick Chubb that was knocked out by Lawrence Guy and recovered by Dont'a Hightower, who took it to the end zone for a touchdown.
On the very next offensive snap for the Browns, Chubb took the ball 44 yards, but fumbled once again and Devin McCourty recovered. New England completed the hat trick of turnovers when Lawrence Guy was able to intercept a Baker Mayfield touch pass deep in Cleveland territory. He handed Tom Brady, who completed 20 of his 32 passes for 259 and two touchdowns, the ball within the red zone and he quickly completed a touchdown to Julian Edelman, their first of two connections on the night.
The Browns dug themselves into a deep hole with those errors, along with the 13 penalties for 85 yards they were called for.
Outside of his turnovers, however, Nick Chubb was able to find success against this historic Patriots defense, rushing for 131 yards. That said, Chubb coughing up the ball proved to be the difference.
This win also is the 300th of Bill Belichick's career, making him just one of two other coaches to reach the milestone in NFL history.
