The New England Patriots’ 37-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday featured great moments on both sides of the ball. A Patriots offense that struggled coming into the year looked not only consistent but also explosive at times against a middling Ravens secondary.

Despite the offensive and defensive positives, three interceptions by Patriots quarterback Mac Jones made it difficult for New England to keep going toe-to-toe with the Ravens’ offense, and a late-game fumble by wide receiver Nelson Agholor iced the game in Baltimore’s favor.
Here are five immediate takeaways from New England’s well-fought but disappointing loss to the Ravens.
