The Cleveland Browns were hoping to put together their first winning streak of the season on Sunday after a dominant Week 7 performance against the Miami Dolphins, but the New England Patriots had something else on their mind.
Cleveland struggled again on offense in a 32-13 loss to New England in Massachusetts, as rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw two interceptions and two touchdowns in the loss that seemed close until a 21-point third quarter for New England.
Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett had a surprising individual performance, securing five sacks of quarterback Drake Maye.

But Garrett doesn’t care what he does when the Browns’ record is 2-6. He’s getting tired of hearing the same questions every week after the game about how the offense isn’t backing up stellar defensive performances.
“It doesn’t get easier every week you ask me,” Garrett responded to a reporter’s question about the matter.
“I would waste the whole performance to win.”
Garrett’s performance was a franchise record, as no Browns player had recorded five sacks in a single game before. But instead of celebrating a brilliant day at the line of scrimmage, he was seen banging his helmet in frustration on the Browns bench.

Garrett’s second sack of the day set a new standard for pass rushers under the age of 30, as he reached the 108.5 sack mark to surpass Reggie White for the record, according to Cleveland.com.
Garrett’s talent is undeniable, but he made it clear this offseason that the opportunity to compete for a Super Bowl is what motivates him.

It was a tumultuous offseason for the star running back, beginning when he requested a trade in February following another lackluster Browns campaign in 2024. Garrett was seeking a contract extension at the time.
“When I was a kid and dreamed of the NFL, the only thing I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl, and that goal drives me today more than ever,” he said in a statement. “My love for the Northeast Ohio community and the incredible Cleveland Browns fan base has made this one of the most difficult decisions of my life. These last eight years have made me the man I am today.
“While I love calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages doesn’t allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete and win a Super Bowl.”
Browns general manager Andrew Berry was adamant about not wanting to trade Garrett, and about a month later, both sides came to terms on a massive four-year extension worth $123 million, which was a record at the time of the signing. Garrett had a “change of heart,” according to his agent, and pledged to help the Browns move forward in hopes of a Vince Lombardi Trophy heading to Cleveland.

Garrett and the Browns defense have been doing their job in that pursuit, allowing the third-fewest yards per game of any NFL team this season (276.9), although the 32 points allowed left them 17th in points allowed per game (23.0).
Meanwhile, the Browns offense ranks 31st in total yards per game (263.5) and 30th in points scored (15.8).
