5 takeaways from Patriots’ disappointing 37-26 loss to Ravens

The Patriots came up short in an exciting matchup on Sunday with the Ravens

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.

And New England’s defensive front looked absolutely dominant facing a beat-up Baltimore offensive line.

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.

What questions about New England’s performance remain unanswered so far going into their game against Baltimore?

The New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14 last weekend, putting to rest some doubts about their offensive attack after an offseason of skepticism and poor performance.

Despite the offensive success that they found in Pittsburgh, the Patriots still showed that they have much work to do.

Compared to last week’s game, this showdown will likely put more emphasis on the strength of New England’s defense and their ability to limit Baltimore’s explosive offensive attack rather than their offensive explosiveness. Here are 3 burning questions surrounding the team heading into Sunday’s matchup.
