Isn’t it hilarious to see all of the football fans believe the New England Patriots are toast after their Week 9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens?

If anything, the Patriots will look at this loss to the Ravens as motivation to make sure they bounce back stronger following their bye week, as they prepare for what should be a tough matchup on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Usually, Tom Brady and the offense receive most of the attention for the success in New England, but the defense has found a way to emerge as one of the best in the league this season.

However, the unit received a major wake-up call in their loss to the Ravens after struggling to find answers to keep Lamar Jackson in check, which has been an issue for most opponents that have already faced Baltimore in 2019.

One loss means absolutely nothing for New England when it comes to hurting their chances to be a top contender in the AFC since this team is still in great shape to potentially earn the No. 1 spot in the conference come playoff time.

But also, the Patriots better be careful, because the Ravens are right there behind them, and waiting for the right opportunity to swoop in.
