With the Cleveland Browns losing to the New England Patriots by a 45-7 score, it was a frustrating day for many on the Cleveland sideline.
New England managed to shut down prolific pass-rusher Myles Garrett. The defensive end came into Sunday’s contest with 12 sacks on the year. Heading into the game, he led all of the NFL in that category. He recorded a tackle and a sack on the afternoon, as New England slowed his momentum with double-teams.
Earlier in the week, Garrett referenced Mac Jones incident with Carolina Panthers defensive end Brian Burns. However, he had a somber tone in his postgame press conference.

Other Browns players appeared to be at a loss with what to say.
Browns guard Joel Bitonio: "I don’t have an explanation besides we got outplayed and outcoached. … It was embarrassing. We got embarrassed today and they deserve all the credit. They outplayed us.”

Baker Mayfield on the Patriots defense:
"They play hard. They play extremely hard. I mean, obviously, they're coached well. They got a lot of veterans. They play hard and disguise well. And they just execute well."
