""Yeah, I mean, I think just statistically and play style. They're playing at a high level, they're playing with a lot of confidence," Mike Vrabel said Wednesday when asked if Cleveland boasted the best defense that New England has faced this year. "It's a lot of speed, a lot of disruption. "They don't give you a whole lot of time to make decisions. And then there's enough change ups in there that you just have to be good. You have to be sound, can't hold on to the ball. Coverage is sticky and the linebackers are fast.""
"Drake Maye and a young offensive line will have their work cut out for them against Cleveland's Myles Garrett and a Browns pass-rushing crew that has doled out plenty of damage against opposing QBs. As the Patriots try to make it five-straight victories, follow along here for live updates from Sunday's game in Foxborough, and check back once the game wraps for some early observations. 11:00: Greetings from Foxborough!"
The Patriots (5-2) will host the Browns (2-5) at Gillette Stadium with kickoff at 1 p.m., broadcast on FOX and on 98.5 The Sports Hub. Cleveland's defense plays with speed, disruption, sticky coverage, and fast linebackers that limit quarterback decision time. The Browns' pass rush, led by Myles Garrett, has repeatedly pressured and damaged opposing quarterbacks. Drake Maye and a young Patriots offensive line will face significant challenges handling the Browns' edge rush. New England seeks a fifth consecutive victory. Live updates will follow from Foxborough during the game with early observations available after the final whistle.
