FOXBOROUGH — After Sunday’s blowout victory over the Titans that led to Drake Maye handing him a game ball, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is now preparing for the Browns.

Vrabel spent the last season with the Browns as a coaching and personnel consultant after being fired by the Titans in January 2024. The Northeast Ohio native said he grew up a Browns fan and liked being able to contribute to the franchise while between head coaching jobs.

“I enjoyed that time. I enjoyed the people there, that organization,” Vrabel said on Monday. “I enjoyed working with [coach] Kevin [ Stefanski ], the offensive staff, Tommy Rees and Chad [ O’Shea ]. I played with Bubba [ Ventrone ]. So, a lot of good, young coaches. Jim Schwartz , I had a really good relationship with Schwartzy.”
