The Patriots are facing their biggest deficit of the season as the Browns have taken a 17-point lead following a 16-yard touchdown scramble by Colt McCoy.
It seemed like the Patriots might have some life coming out of the half, moving to midfield in a hurry, but a false start and missed catches by Aaron Hernandez stopped the drive well short. The Browns responded by marching steadily downfield for a 10-play, 7-minute touchdown drive capped off by McCoy’s run.
It’s do or die time in Cleveland.
