GROUND GAME: The Browns might finally get their running game going against a weak run defense. They have the fifth-worst ground attack in the NFL, but the Patriots have allowed the second-most yards rushing. Willis McGahee leads the Browns with just 344 yards rushing, a 2.8 average and the team's only two  touchdowns on the ground.
SLOW STARTS: Look for the Patriots to emphasize getting off to a good start,China Jerseys. They've trailed at halftime in four of their last five games and won three with second-half comebacks.
