The New England Patriots had to overcome a slow start against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but walked off the field at Gillette Stadium with a fifth straight victory. Drake Maye and the offense got rolling in the second half and fed off a pair of turnovers forced by the New England defense, en route to a 32-13 pounding of the Browns .
Mike Vrabel's team is now 6-2 on the season, and the head coach was loving all the complementary football he saw in the second half of Sunday's win.
"I know there's so much more to improve, but we got stops in the second half, and we scored touchdowns. That's what the difference in the game was," he said after the win.
Here are the Ups and Downs from the Patriots in the team's Week 8 win over the Browns:
