“They outplayed us, outcoached us,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. Playing without star running back Nick Chubb, who missed the game after a positive COVID-19 test, the Browns were held to 217 total yards and were 1 of 11 on third down. “It’s just a three-level game and when we click on all cylinders, we can be pretty good.”
“That’s how you want to play the game of football,” Jones said. Hunter Henry added a pair of TD receptions as New England (6-4) went 7 of 9 on third down. Jones finished 19 of 23 for 198 yards passing. The Browns (5-5) have dropped four of their last six and haven't won at New England since 1992, when Bill Belichick was their coach. Mac Jones threw three touchdown passes, rookie Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for a career-high 100 yards and two scores, and the Patriots rolled to a 45-7 victory over Cleveland Sunday as the Browns lost quarterback Baker Mayfield to a knee injury. A month ago, the New England Patriots were 2-4 and appeared headed for a second straight season of irrelevance.įour games later, they are back in a familiar spot as a playoff contender in the AFC.
