The New England Patriots returned home on Sunday to take on the Cleveland Browns who also came into the matchup with an identical 5-4 record.

Notable lineup changes saw tackle Trent Brown return to the offensive line for the first time since week one after sustaining a calf injury and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson starting at running back due to Damien Harris recovering from a concussion he sustained last week.

Take a look at all of the best postings and moments shared across social media before, during, and after the game below by members of the team and local media below.

In the first quarter, the Browns struck first when quarterback Baker Mayfield found tight end Austin Hooper to give the visitors an opening drive 7-0 lead. Running back D’Ernest Johnson led the way for Cleveland thanks to his 58 rushing yards on the drive. That yardage was the second-most ever given up by the Patriots on an opening drive under Bill Belichick.

Despite the tough start, the Patriots like many other times this season weren’t phased and responded with their longest opening touchdown drive in the Belichick era.

Quarterback Mac Jones would find Hunter Henry to knot the game at seven all through one-quarter of play.

The Browns looked to respond back to open the second quarter, but second-year safety Kyle Dugger’s strong season continued when he picked off Mayfield to set up the Patriots first lead of the day.

Midway through the second quarter, Mac Jones continued to pick apart the Browns defense.

The dime to Jakobi Meyers helped set up what may be the best throw and catch of the season (so far) for the Patriots on this touchdown pass by Jones to Kendrick Bourne.

AIR BOURNE. @BournePoly11 went and got it for the TD!

The touchdown to Bourne plus an additional Nick Folk field goal gave the Patriots a commanding 24-7 lead heading into halftime.

As both teams returned to the field for the second half, life didn’t get much better for the Browns offense as the Patriots defense continued to shut them down.

3 plays, 3 yards, INT
5 plays 23 yards, punt
3 plays, -5 yards, punt
1 play, -9 yards, half

The Patriots offense meanwhile, continued to shine as they looked to put the game away.
