The New England Patriots’ winning streak — one that actually stretches back all the way to last year’s regular season — continues with a 27-13 victory over the visiting Cleveland Browns. Beating the elements and an opponent that looked solid at times http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authen...danny-shelton-jersey , the Patriots improved to 8-0 on the year while still having plenty of areas to work on at the halfway point of the season. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the players that stood out during Sunday’s contest.Winner: DT Lawrence Guy & DT Adam ButlerNew England’s top two defensive tackles had a big impact on the outcome of the Patriots’ game against the Browns. While Lawrence Guy registered an interception in the first quarter — the third takeaway in three consecutive plays — that set up a touchdown, Adam Butler terrorized Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield from the interior: the third-year man was involved in three sacks, registering one on his own and sharing two more with other players.Winner: CB Jonathan JonesThe Patriots’ two other turnovers in that three-play span were a fumble that was returned for a touchdown by Dont’a Hightower, and a momentum-changing fumble that ended a potential Browns scoring opportunity when Jonathan Jones knocked the football away and Devin McCourty fell on it. Jones in general had a very good game with his hustle to force a Nick Chubb fumble as his highlight of the day. However, he also looked very good in coverage and showed once again why he should be in the conversation as one of the best slot cornerbacks in the NFL.Loser: The run defenseNew England did force two takeaways on the ground, but overall had a bad day in the running game. Led by Nick Chubb, Cleveland was able to gain 159 rushing yards on just 22 carries for an average of 7.2 yards per carry. The run defense certainly will need to be addressed by the team over the next few weeks Derek Rivers Jersey , especially considering that the Patriots already had some issues in this area against the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills earlier this year.Week 8: Patriots vs BrownsPhoto by Omar Rawlings/Getty ImagesPatriots vs Browns recap: New England remains undefeated after beating Cleveland 27-13Instant analysis from Patriots’ 27-13 win over BrownsBill Belichick deflects praise for 300th win onto players, assistantsPatriots’ defensive turnovers set early tone against BrownsWinner: RB Sony MichelSpeaking of running the football, Sony Michel had one of his better games of the season as a ball carrier. While his final stat-line — he finished the game with 21 attempts for 74 yards and a 3.5-yard average per carry — is nothing to write home about, the second-year man did a good job of trying to generate yardage after contact. Furthermore, Michel showed some solid vision to let blocks develop in front of him.Winner: QB Tom BradyStatistically speaking, Tom Brady has had better games but he looked very good considering the circumstances: another starting offensive lineman was out — Shaq Mason missed the game because of an ankle injury — while top-three receiver Mohamed Sanu was just getting incorporated into the system. Furthermore, the weather was terrible all game long. Despite all that, Brady made some good decisions and threw some terrific passes that allowed New England to stay on top at all times.Loser: OT Marshall Newhouse & OT Marcus CannonGoing against one of the most talented defensive fronts in all of football Womens Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , New England’s offensive tackles had another inconsistent game — at best. Shaq Mason’s absence may have played a role in Marcus Cannon’s up-and-down performance, but the veteran has had his fair share of issues recently even with the starting right guard in the lineup. The same goes for Marshall Newhouse, who had a hard time against the physicality of Myles Garrett and Olivier Vernon.Winner: CB Stephon GilmoreStephon Gilmore’s primary assignment, Odell Beckham Jr, finished the game with five catches for 52 yards — solid numbers but far from his capabilities, which speaks for New England’s number one cornerback. Gilmore, as he did against Washington Redskins receiver Terry McLaurin earlier this season, was willing to give up short gains underneath in order to make sure no deep passes were completed. The plan worked http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authen...patrick-chung-jersey , and Beckham’s impact on the game was ultimately limited.Loser: The field goal operationNew England was in a position to score 30+ points yet again, but two miscues in the kicking game cost the team a combined six points. First, Browns rusher Denzel Ward was able to get into the backfield to block a 29-yard attempt late in the second quarter; Ward took advantage of a protection breakdown up front. Later, in the fourth quarter, Mike Nugent hooked a 34-yarder wide to the left that would have put the game out of reach for good.Winner: WR Julian EdelmanEven with Rob Gronkowski and Josh Gordon no longer being parts of the equation, Julian Edelman continues to shine and play at a Pro Bowl-worthy level. The veteran receiver finished the game against Cleveland with eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns — the best receiving performance on either side. Edelman, who also converted a 4th and 7 on the Patriots’ first scoring drive of the day, again proved his value as Tom Brady’s number one target and one of the most reliable wide receivers in the entire NFL. After a team wins the Super Bowl Stephen Gostkowski Jersey , there are certain traditions that follow. The team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy right after the victorious game, and gets to make the media round in the days following the game. It can hold a parade and will have to pick 32nd in the NFL draft, while it also gets to unveil a championship banner before what is usually the league’s first game of the next season.When it comes to the New England Patriots, however, there is one tradition — to paraphrase Futurama: “It is a recent tradition, but it is a tradition nonetheless.” — that needs to be added to this list: head coach Bill Belichick renaming his boat. This is exactly what has recently happened following his team’s win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53 a little more than a week ago:The name of the vessel, of course, reflects Belichick’s success as a coach in the NFL: he won two Super Bowl rings as the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator following the 1986 and 1990 seasons before turning the Patriots into the league’s greatest-ever dynasty — one that earned six championships since Belichick took over as head coach in 2000. After the latest title Womens Duke Dawson Jersey , his boat was now properly renamed.VII Rings is dead, short may live — at least in name — VIII Rings!
