Overview
- Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Gillette Stadium, with New England 5-2 on a four-game win streak and Cleveland 2-5 after beating Miami.
- New England is allowing 77.1 rushing yards per game and has not permitted a 50-yard rusher in seven straight games, a franchise-record streak central to this matchup.
- Judkins leads all NFL rookies with 467 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns and 29 rushing first downs, and he has surpassed 60 yards in five of his six outings.
- Patriots quarterback Drake Maye enters on a record-setting run, while Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel has protected the ball with zero interceptions but owns the league’s lowest yards per attempt.
- Patriots safety Kyle Dugger is questionable as the team elevates Richie Grant for depth, and Cleveland expects defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. back as Myles Garrett headlines a defense ranked among the league’s best by EPA.
