Baltimore Ravens Schedule Breakdown
By Joe Serpico
Week 14: New England Patriots – Dec. 12, 2016 (8:30 p.m.)
2015 Record: 12-4
Head-to-Head Record: 3-9
Last Meeting: Ravens 31 – Patriots 35 (Jan. 10, 2015)
Outside of the AFC North opponents, there is no team that Baltimoreans hate more than the Patriots. Mainly because Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have found a way to beat the Ravens time after time. Add in the controversy over where offensive lineman lined up and the Deflategate scandal, and you can understand why they are so hated.
The last time these two teams matched up was in the playoffs two seasons ago. Baltimore held a 14-point lead twice in the game, but the Pats made a comeback and knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs. Brady accounted for 367 yards passing and four total touchdowns in the game, and New England ultimately won the Super Bowl that season.
The Patriots are 7-1 against the Ravens in regular season games, and have lost only 19 home games since 2001. A win on Monday Night Football in Foxborough is a tough task, which makes this game the hardest one on the schedule for Harbaugh.
