The New England Patriots got a reality check when they were blown out by the Baltimore Ravens 37-20 last night. There’s no easy way to say it: they got punched square in the mouth, and had no answer for the Ravens. Quarterback Lamar Jackson and the rest of the offense carved up the vaunted Patriots defense so much that they will be having nightmares about their performance, instead of the other way around.
The worst part about this beatdown? The Patriots still had a real chance to win the game.
James White trips over Marcus Cannon’s foot late in the first half, and the Patriots have to settle for a field goal instead of getting a touchdown.
