by the numbers 10.26 Browns Patriots article

With 9:30 left in the first quarter, DE Myles Garrett Euro-stepped past Patriots TE Hunter Henry and ran around T Will Campbell en route to sacking QB Drake Maye. With the sack, Garrett set the record for most sacks for a player before age 30.

The broken record came in a 32-13 loss to the Patriots in Week 8 at Gillette Stadium. Cleveland was outscored 23-6 in the second half after going into the break down two points.

Here are 10 key numbers from the Browns' Week 8 loss against the Patriots.

0 – The Browns stayed penalty-free in the first half, playing clean football to not give the Patriots any extra yards. The first penalty of the game for the Browns came at the 6:37 mark of the third quarter, the first of five they were called for in the second half.

1 – LB Carson Schwesinger notched his first career interception. On a third-and-9 in the second quarter, Schwesinger leapt up and picked Maye's pass out of the air. He ran for seven yards to the New England 34-yard line, putting the Browns in plus territory.

2 – P Corey Bojorquez punted the ball four times against New England, getting half of them within the 20-yard line and all of them within the Patriots 33-yard line. With each punt inside the 20, Bojorquez and his family are donating $1,000 to benefit the Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Institute of University Hospitals.

3 – The Browns' defense held the Patriots to three third-down conversions in the game, rarely letting New England continue drives when they needed a first down. The Patriots finished the game with a 27 percent conversion rate on third down, well below their 41.5 percent rate entering the game.

5 – Over the course of the game, Garrett tore through the lineman who was in front of him, recording five sacks – a career-best and breaking his own Browns record for most sacks in the game. Three of his five sacks came in the red zone with the Patriots trying to get a touchdown.

11 – Cleveland's defense combined for 11 tackles for loss against the Patriots. Garrett led the way with five tackles for loss while DE Alex Wright had three. DT Shelby Harris added two tackles for loss, including tackling Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson for a loss of one yard on third-and-1. LB Mohamoud Diabate had a single tackle for loss, tackling Patriots WR DeMario Douglas for a loss of five yards.

19 – RB Quinshon Judkins was limited to 19 rushing yards on nine carries in the game. New England's defense came into the game giving up the third-fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL.

33 – When New England entered the red zone, getting a touchdown wasn't a guarantee against the Browns. The Patriots had six red zone opportunities and only scored a touchdown on two of them, resulting in a 33 percent red zone efficiency.

108.5 – Garrett broke Reggie White's record for most sacks by a player before age 30 against New England. He came into the game needing one sack to break the record and did so in the first quarter, bringing his total to 108.5 sacks. He then recorded four more sacks in the game, bringing his career total to 112.5.

422 – The Patriots finished the game with 422 total yards, the most Cleveland's defense has allowed this season. Maye threw for 282 yards and ran for 50 yards, while RB TreVeyon Henderson led the Patriots with 75 rushing yards.
