"Outside of a ghastly interception that he threw right into Carson Schwesinger's chest, Maye was efficient and effective. He got himself going early by making plays with his legs. He hit Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas for big gains. He and Rhamondre Stevenson teamed up on a flea-flicker in the third quarter as the Patriots pulled off a few trick plays."
"Cleveland's Dillon Gabriel gave Spillane a gift - a low throw well short of the intended receiver. Spillane scooped it and almost scored before he was tripped up deep into the red zone. The pick set the Patriots up nicely for a three-play, six-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard touchdown by Stefon Diggs. Spillane was all over the field yet again, posting 14 tackles including two for a loss. It was a big day for No. 14."
The Patriots recorded their fifth consecutive win despite another sluggish start and a first-drive touchdown allowed on a play-action pass. Drake Maye overcame a costly interception and six sacks to complete 17 of 23 for three touchdowns while also rushing as the team's second leading rusher. Robert Spillane returned a Dillon Gabriel interception deep into the red zone and totaled 14 tackles with two for loss. The offensive line struggled in pass protection. Trick plays and timely deep throws to Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, and DeMario Douglas fueled the second-half comeback and scoring drives.
