It was a surprisingly dominant performance for the Patriots Sunday in Cleveland, with standouts on both sides of the ball.
on third down was short but impressive. He took two sacks, but for the second straight week he did not throw an interception.
It wasn't a perfect day, by any means. Zappe missed Hunter Henry for a touchdown on the play that eventually led to an illegal touch call on Henry. The Patriots got flagged for a delay of game when Zappe tried to make an"Alert!" call with time on the play clock winding down. He missed badly on a back-shoulder throw to DeVante Parker and then missed again wide on an out route to Henry on the next play.
With the score tied, 3-3, and the Patriots facing a third-and-10 scenario, Stevenson found open running room and made the most of it. He began his track behind motioning tight end Hunter Henry and guard Mike Onwenu. Then, seeing loads of green where a Browns linebacker vacated to blitz, Stevenson cut across the field and hit the end zone untouched for a 31-yard score.
Meyers, who didn't score his first touchdown until his third season, was particularly happy for his rookie teammate. Jonnu Smith, meanwhile, came up with one of the plays of the day with his 53-yard catch-and-run. The pass from Zappe wasn't perfect -- Smith had to leap and turn it into almost a back-shoulder throw -- but he bounced off a Browns defender and ran away from a tackler for a massive gain. He told me after he hoped this would propel the tight end position group to more consistent showings.
