The schedule only gets tougher.
While moving into a tie for second with George Halas in career coaching victories, Belichick exposed all of Cleveland's weaknesses during New England's 38-15 dismantling of the Browns on Sunday. He did the same thing to his former team last year in a 45-7 drubbing.
Belichick deployed a bigger defensive lineup early, knowing Cleveland would lean on its NFL-leading running game led by Nick Chubb. It forced the Browns to pass and Jacoby Brissett threw the first of two interceptions on the game's second play. On defense, the Browns' tackling problems from the previous two games improved and they held the Patriots to 98 yards rushing. However, Cleveland's line didn't put enough pressure on rookie Bailey Zappe, who threw for 309 yards and a pair of TDs in his second NFL start.
Down 24-15, Cleveland sealed its fate by botching an onside kick and muffing a punt — unforgivable against any team, death sentences against Belichick.
