CLEVELAND: The Browns lost their third starting quarterback this season and the New England Patriots got their superstar quarterback back.
The contrast in quarterback situations between one of the NFL’s worst teams and one of its perennial elite was blatant Sunday as the Browns fell 33-13 to the Patriots at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Browns lost rookie quarterback Cody Kessler to chest and rib injuries late in the first quarter while Patriots quarterback Tom Brady showed virtually no signs of rust in his return from a four-game suspension for Deflategate.
The Browns are 0-5 for the third time during the expansion era.
