New England Patriots
The Patriots are looking to respond after a brutal loss to the Bills at Gillette Stadium.
After letting a division-clinching win against the Bills slip through their grasp last week, the New England Patriots will look to right the ship in another tough matchup — this time on the road.
In arguably their most important game of the season, the Patriots (11-3) will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens (7-7) on Sunday Night Football.
Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. from M&T Bank Stadium. You can watch the game on NBC, as well as listen on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
New England’s defense — which coughed up five-straight TD drives to Josh Allen and the Bills last week — will have another tough test trying to slow down two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, especially without Robert Spillane and Milton Williams.
“Josh [Allen] isn’t going to matter on Sunday. This is about Lamar and the Ravens, what he can do, his ability to stay patient and calm, and then deliver the football or burst,” Vrabel said this week. “He really scrambles when he has to. He rarely feels like anybody’s going to be able to tackle him until he’s ready to go down, to get out of bounds, or to throw. … So, that’ll be a huge challenge.”
After battling injuries earlier this season, Jackson has helped revitalize a Ravens team that started the year 1-5 but are now making a push for the AFC North divisional title.
Drake Maye and the Patriots’ offense will also need to bounce back after a quiet second half against Buffalo — with Maye throwing for just 155 yards last week at Gillette Stadium.
The Patriots may have to wait a bit longer to outright clinch the AFC East, but a win on Sunday would secure a playoff spot for New England.

Despite being listed as questionable, Marcus Jones, Carlton Davis, Christian Barmore, and Harold Landry are all active for the Patriots vs. the Ravens.
7:12: Sunday was already going to be a big game for the Patriots, but it becomes even more critical now that the Broncos are losing to the Jags in their own building. Patriots could still make a push for the No. 1 seed with a win tonight.
