The New England Patriots close out their three-game preseason slate with a road meeting with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night.
After tying with the Indianapolis Colts in the preseason opener, the Patriots earned a 24-21 comeback win over the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Rookie quarterback Behren Morton drove the team down the field 73 yards late in the fourth-quarter on game-winning touchdown drive.
Meanwhile, the Browns are coming off back-to-back preseason blowout losses to the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears. They recently announced that Deshaun Watson would be their starting quarterback for the 2026 season after he split preseason reps with Shedeur Sanders.
