FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Pop an ibuprofen and kick back.
The temperature on Zappe Fever is only rising.
Patriots rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe leveled up over another impressive start during a 38-15 win at Cleveland on Sunday. Zappe completed 24 of 34 passes for 309 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie Tyquan Thornton and a 31-yarder to tight end Hunter Henry. Thanks to three turnovers, the Pats led for the entire second half, burying Browns quarterback and old friend Jacoby Brissett, who finished 21-of-45 for 266 yards yards, one touchdown and two picks.
