Patriots
W 32-13 vs Browns · Oct 26, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans sitting at 6-2 with D.Maye looking like the guy, still waiting for the floor to fall out.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Five straight, and the 19-point margin papers over a second quarter that could have gone sideways — D.Maye's interception by C.Schwesinger and a M.Garrett sack stalled drives before deep shots to D.Douglas, A.Hooper, and K.Boutte flipped the field. The fanbase is openly Draking now, which is its own kind of tell. The question isn't whether this team is back; it's whether anyone's ready to believe it without flinching.
