The New England Patriots have a real shot at upsetting the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. As ugly as the Patriots’ win over the New York Jets was in Week 9, it was a get-right game for Cam Newton, who had one of his best games of the season, and for New England’s run defense, which also had a great game.
Admittedly, it was the Jets. They’re awful. So a good performance gets taken with a grain of salt. But Lamar Jackson admitted defenses have been calling out the Ravens plays before they’re running them. So if it knows what’s coming, New England’s defense should find a way to defend Baltimore. (It worked during the Spygate era.) If the Patriots run defense continues to step up, Newton just has to play mistake-free football. That should be enough for the Patriots to win their game on Sunday night.
