The New England Patriots shook off a slow start and crushed the Cleveland Browns, 32-13, in Week 8 of the NFL season. Drake Maye had another MVP-like performance with three touchdown passes, while the New England defense locked down and forced two Cleveland turnovers --and a late-game safety -- to lead the Patriots to a fifth straight win.
