There has been plenty of anticipation for Sunday night’s Patriots-Ravens game at Baltimore, and not just for the obvious reason — that the Ravens could present the biggest obstacle so far this season to the Patriots, who have not exactly faced the cream of the NFL crop in jumping out to an 8-0 start.
Baltimore’s defense, no matter who is lining up in the purple jerseys, always seems to give Tom Brady difficulties. And quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Mark Ingram lead a potent running attack, perhaps the one area where the Patriots defense has appeared to be vulnerable.
