Foxborough served up a feast, and the Patriots did the carving. New England slammed the throttle in the third quarter and never looked back, rolling the Browns 32–13 behind a maestro turn from Drake Maye (18/24, 282 yards, 3 TD; 7 rushes, 50 yards) and a balanced attack that stacked up 459 total yards to Cleveland’s 224. The early script belonged to Cleveland — a jet-sweep burst by Malachi Corley set up Harold Fannin Jr. for an 18-yard score — but after a couple of Andy Borregales boots, the Pats settled in and turned this one into a Foxborough flex.

That third frame? Pure avalanche. TreVeyon Henderson ripped chunk plays, Mack Hollins (7/7, 89 yards) kept moving the sticks, and Maye painted the end zone twice — a dart to Hunter Henry and a goal-line whip to Stefon Diggs — before dropping a gorgeous 39-yard moon ball to Kayshon Boutte (3/75/1) that felt like the dagger. Special teams and D added seasoning: Borregales went a clean 3-for-3 on field goals and 3-for-3 on PATs, and a late intentional-grounding safety pinned two more on the board. For the Browns, the spark returned in the fourth when David Njoku (4/37/1) cashed in, but a pair of third-quarter giveaways flipped the field and the momentum, and the ground game never found traction at just 68 yards.

Credit to Cleveland’s superstar for trying to keep it loud — Myles Garrett lived in the backfield with four sacks and a forced fumble — and Fannin Jr. (6/62/1) was a steady outlet for Dillon Gabriel (21/35, 156 yards, 2 TD). But New England’s clean execution and tempo told the tale, and the Pats handled business as a touchdown favorite while nudging this one past the 40.5 total. They covered the -7 and cashed the over — just what the oddsmakers drew up. (espn.com)
