It’s hard to pick against the Patriots. In Week Eight Browns fans found out why. The Browns spent much of Sunday unable to get out of their own way against the defending Super Bowl champs. That’s the kiss of death against a Patriots team that rarely makes mistakes of their own. New England took advantage of the Browns 13 penalties and three turnovers on way to a 27-13 win.
The loss drops the Browns to 2-5 on the season as the road to the playoffs is a daunting one despite the fact that a lighter schedule awaits the Browns for the second half of the season.
