The Baltimore Ravens seem to give the New England Patriots fits in Foxborough. The Patriots turned the tide this time around in a 30 to 23 victory over the Ravens.
In the first quarter, the Patriots scored on a safety and a LeGarrette Blount 1-yard rush. Blount finished with 72 rushing yards and 1 touchdown. New England also blocked a Justin Tucker field goal attempt as well.
In the second quarter, Malcolm Mitchell caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady. Mitchell finished with 4 catches for 41 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
In the third quarter, Martellus Bennett caught a 19-yard touchdown pass. Bennett finished with 4 catches for 70 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. With the Ravens trailing 23 to 3, they needed to find a way to get back into the game.
When they punted, New England carelessly touched the football and Baltimore recovered. The Ravens would capitalize on a 3-yard touchdown pass to Darren Waller from Joe Flacco. On the ensuing kickoff, the Patriots fumbled again and the Ravens recovered.
Another turnover would result in a 8-yard touchdown reception by Kenneth Dixon. Dixon had 39 rushing yards and 8 catches for 42 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Flacco finished with 324 passing yards 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
In the fourth quarter, the Ravens would be driving again, but they could only settle for a field goal. On the next drive for New England, Tom Brady threw a 79-yard touchdown strike to Chris Hogan. Hogan finished with 5 catches for 129 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
Tom Brady finished with 406 passing yards 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. Baltimore would score on another field goal by Justin Tucker, but they couldn't stop the Patriots on defense which allowed them to close the door.
The Patriots will travel to Denver (8-5) next Sunday.
