Week 8 in the NFL features a stop at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA where the AFC East-leading New England Patriots (5-2) play host to the Cleveland Browns (2-5).
Drake Maye continues his MVP campaign for the Patriots against rookie Dillon Gabriel and the offensively challenged Browns.
New England is riding a four-game winning streak. The Pats are seeking their best 8-game start since 2019. (They started 8-0 that season. It was the last time New England won the AFC East.)
Should the Browns find their way to a second consecutive victory (they blew out the Dolphins last Sunday) they will have won back-to-back games for the first time since winning 4 straight in 2023 (Weeks 14-17). A win in New England would also snap Cleveland’s 11-game road losing streak.
