BOOM! The Pats move to 6-4 on the season following a 45-7 demolition job of the Cleveland Browns. Coming into this one, I don’t think I was in the minority by thinking it was going to be close, but boy, I was wrong! Here are your Ups & Downs from Week 10.

Ups ⬆️

Mac Jones

This was Mac’s best game for the Patriots, he finished up 19/23 – 198 YDS – 3 TDs, finding Hunter Henry twice along with a superb pass to Kenrick Bourne. Mac has been quieter in the last couple of games and not had the same sort of production we saw in the first few weeks, but today he made his throws, didn’t make errors, and got the ball into the endzone. Really positive stuff, Mac was great.

Rhamondre Stevenson

No Damien Harris proved to be no problem for the Patriots as rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson had a fruitful afternoon at Gillette Stadium, rushing for 100 YDS and 2 TDs! A real viewing of what the kid can do, an excellent runner who time and again found ways forward for extra yards.

His work when the Pats were backed up to their own one-yard line sticks out to me, he really got the offense out of an awkward spot, at the end leading to a 90-yard touchdown drive.

Kyle Dugger + Defensive Backs

Another positive week for Dugger who has really stepped things up in recent weeks. He earned his third interception of the year as he stole from Mayfield early in the game, leading to a touchdown. He’s really giving me confidence for the future at the safety position, I think he could be a long-term Patriot.

The rest of the secondary unit was great all game, with no flags, and no real mistakes. J.C. Jackson deserves a special mention as he was everywhere on the field today and should have probably had himself another pick. This defense is really starting to shape into a formidable unit.

Hunter Henry

The touchdown machine, Hunter Henry. Another stellar performance by big 85 as he cemented himself as Mac’s go-to redzone target, 4/4 – 37 YDS – 2 TDS. Henry now has seven touchdowns on the year, all of which came in the last eight games I might add, he’s been brilliant this year, and he was brilliant again yesterday.

Matt Judon

A big congratulations to Mr and Mrs Sleeves this week as they welcomed a new addition to the family! Judon was back with the team on Sunday and was busy when rushing the Cleveland QBs (which was most of the day). After being credited with half a sack, Judon equalled his career high sack tally of 9.5, and we still got seven games to go! He’s been the best FA additon by a mile this year.

Jakobi Meyers

It finally happened, we got to see Jakobi Meyers score his first career NFL touchdown! Unreal scenes followed as the entire team ran to celebrate with him in the endzone, Meyers also confirmed later than his number one fan, his dad, was in attendance to see the big moment. I can’t think of a more hard-working and selfless player on this current Pats roster than Jakobi, I’m so pleased for him, I hope he’s a Patriot for many years to come.

No downs from me this week, nobody deserves it a win like that. Short week, on to Atlanta, LFG!
