The New England Patriots defeated the Cleveland Browns by a 38-15 score on a day where they got contributions from several players on both sides of the football.
Quarterback Bailey Zappe had a strong day, while wide receiver Tyquan Thornton had his stamp all over the game. Rhamondre Stevenson also shined brightly as the offense continued to match the defensive effort. They managed to contain the potent Browns rushing attack of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
With Sunday’s win, the Patriots now have a two-game winning streak and are back at .500.
Let’s take a look at the best reactions to the victory on Twitter.
Football is the greatest sport. We go from Browns having chances to tie twice from the Patriots up 31-15 lol in basically two minutes of play

Patriots should score again here just because.
Maybe if they are embarrassed enough the #Browns will make some necessary changes.

Nothing like a Lions/Browns combo meal to get the Patriots organization back on track.

Who would have thought after six weeks into season, New England and Tampa Bay would have the same record. #Patriots

WAIT! Belichick coached the Browns? And beat the Patriots in the playoffs? What’s next? You’re gonna tell me Meyers played QB in high school?

Classic question you have to ask after a game like this. Are the @Patriots actually good or are the Browns just bad?

Bailey Zappe and Davante Parker are becoming a nice combo for the new England patriots 😁👍👊

The Patriots rookies stepped in and stepped up. Bailey Zappe and Tyquan Thornton showed up and looked great for New England. I will never overlook Bill Belichick or the Patriots EVER. pic.twitter.com/BjZm4OUgCl

My main takeaway from today’s #Patriots game is that this team is back on track and ready for when Mac Jones returns.
New England is a playoff team and will finish with 10 or more wins.
