In addition to just kicking the living crap put of the Colts, the Patriots also kicked the living crap out of the Browns. The Browns have 5 losses so far this season, and 4 of them were by 1 point, 3 points, 2 points, and 3 points ...... but they lost to the Patriots by 23 points (38-15.)

The Patriots also beat the now highly-regarded Jets on their homefield, one week before they beat the Colts.

That said, the Patriots also got their heads handed to them by the 3-6 Chicago Bears on their own homefield in Massachusetts, just prior to beating the Jets and the Colts.

Are the Patriots more like the team that beat the Jets and walloped the Colts than they are the team that was manhandled by the Bears ???
Are the Browns, whose 4 losses besides the one to the Patriots were by a combined total of 9 points, better than their 3-5 record might indicate ???
It will be interesting to keep an eye out for these 2 teams as the 2022 NFL season progresses.
