The Browns are set to take on the undefeated Patriots in an AFC battle at Gillette Stadium, one of the highlights of the NFL's Week 8 schedule.
Cleveland (2-4) is going up against New England (7-0) in hopes of righting the ship of an expectation-filled season gone awry. The Browns have dropped three of their last four games, each of which were against NFC West opponents.
Baker Mayfield will need to get on the right track if the Browns have any chance of winning at New England for the first time since 1992. Mayfield has logged five touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season at the helm of a Browns offense that ranks 23rd in the NFL.
