FOXBOROUGH -- Sunday was Mac Jones' best game as a professional.
The Patriots quarterback threw three touchdown passes for the first time in his career and led his team to a huge 45-7 win over the Browns at Gillette Stadium.
And in typical Jones fashion, he deflected any praise after the game.
"Overall, great team win and that's how you want to play the game of football," he said. "I think it starts with the offensive line, they deserve all the credit in the world. We did hear a lot about obviously Cleveland's front and they have a good front and we have a really good offensive line, and I'm proud of them. And then obviously everyone making the plays that they were supposed to make, they did a great job and that's what happens when you play football like that.
"You score a lot of points and it becomes way more fun and you're scoring touchdowns and the defense is going out, they are getting stops. Special teams are making their plays, so it's just a three-level game and when we click on all cylinders, we can be pretty good."
The Patriots had four touchdown drives of 90 yards or more, including a 99-yarder in the first half.
"I think it just goes back to practice, execution and we do that every week where we start way backed up and push it down the field in practice," Jones said. "When you get in the game, you just have to execute the plays that are called and you can't look at where you are, you can't look at the scoreboard. You can't worry about external factors.
"You just have to focus on, 'Alright, here is what I'm supposed to do.' When 11 guys do it together, the product will be really good at the end of the drive. We did that multiple times on those long drives and it just shows the mental and physical toughness that we put together and we just need to keep doing that on a consistent basis."
The Patriots now have a short week as they will travel to Atlanta for Thursday Night Football.
