What about the New England Patriots lately would lead you to believe they’re good enough to hang with one of the three best teams in the league?
It took everything in the bag to get by the Jets, and before that was a four-game losing streak without enough of a passing game to matter, too many turnovers, and with a run defense that’s having a whole slew of problems.
Welcome to the Baltimore running game.
The Ravens lead the NFL in rushing, and now they don’t have to do anything too crazy. Run, run some more, and do the things the Patriots do, but better.
It’s a road game coming off two nasty days against Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, and there’s a chance the team could be looking ahead to Tennessee. However, as long as the running game works like it’s supposed to, and as long as the run defense continues to be fantastic, giving away a touchdown isn’t asking for the world.
