Mike Vrabel takes a not-so-subtle shot at Browns after Patriots win

The New England Patriots continue to rock and roll, winning their fifth straight game. They're 6-2 in Mike Vrabel's first year at the helm and just blew out the Cleveland Browns in Week 8.

After the 32-13 win, Vrabel seemingly took a shot at the Browns and called them out for running as many gimmicky plays as they did, stating, "When [the Browns'] gimmick plays ran out, [the Patriots] played pretty good defense."

Nothing like a direct shot, huh?
