New England and Baltimore are the Sunday Night game for Week 16 in an AFC battle for postseason position<\/a>. The Patriots are looking to lock up the AFC East title, while the Ravens are on the outside looking in but still have a chance to win the AFC North division crown.<\/p>\n

The Patriots had their 10-game winning streak snapped by Buffalo last week<\/a>, which kept the Bills alive for another AFC East title. With a one-game lead in the division, New England needs a win to hold onto it<\/a>. The Patriots can clinch a playoff berth with a win or tie this week. Due to Buffalo beating them last week, the division will be decided over the final two weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has done itself no favors by losing two of the last three games<\/a>, both to division foes. They\u2019d clawed their way back into the division lead by winning five consecutive games, but now sit at 7-7, one game behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North and in ninth place in the conference. The Ravens are currently two games behind the Houston Texans, who own the final wild-card spot at this time. Baltimore\u2019s best chance at making the playoffs this year will be through winning the division.<\/p>\n

Patriots-Ravens start time: 8:20 p.m. ET

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

The Ravens are driving once again with Tyler Huntley leading the way. They\u2019ll have a fresh set of downs at the New England 32 when we come back.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:38 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be Tyler Huntley the rest of the way for Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:36 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Welp, that didn\u2019t work out well. The Patriots just tried to run a fake punt, and it failed miserably. What a gift for the Ravens.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:35 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Drake Maye was really slow to get up there after a big hit in the backfield on third down, but he ended up jogging off. HIs left leg looked like it was wrapped up awkwardly.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:27 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Zay Flowers weaved through the Patriots defense there on a reverse for an 18-yard touchdown, and the Ravens are suddenly back out in front.<\/p>\n

Flowers has five catches for 65 yards already tonight to go with his rushing touchdown.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:23 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

DeAndre Hopkins somehow managed to get control of this one in time to get his feet down to complete the absurd grab. Thanks to a challenge from the Ravens, the catch will stand.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:14 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Drake Maye had Rhamondre Stevenson open in the end zone there on third down, but he just barely overshot him.<\/p>\n

So the Patriots will settle for a 41-yard field goal to jump back in the lead. They\u2019re up 13-10 now with 7:43 left in the third.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:13 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

TreVeyon Henderson\u2019s night is over after he left in the first half with a head injury.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:08 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

A massive sack from Jennings knocked the Ravens back, and then Tyler Loop left a 56-yard field goal just short. That would have been a career long for him.<\/p>\n

That was a huge stop for the Patriots, who will get the ball back with great field position.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:03 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

That was a perfect start for the Baltimore defense, forcing a three-and-out right away in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Ravens will get the ball back right away here, but Tyler Huntley is coming out to lead the offense again with Lamar Jackson still hurt.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 7:00 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

The Patriots have received the kick, and the second half is now underway in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that \u201cthey\u2019re working on Lamar\u201d right now, too, but it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019ll come back.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:46 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

The Ravens just took a knee there after the penalties, so the two teams will head into the break tied up at 10. The Patriots will get the ball back to start the second half.<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson\u2019s status is still up in the air, too.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:45 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Thankfully for Baltimore, this play was negated by penalties from both teams. But it would have been a wild turnover\u2026<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:43 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Drake Maye got into Ravens territory quickly to try and set up a late field goal before halftime, but Ar\u2019Darius Washington brought him down in the backfield and punched the ball loose for another turnover.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:39 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where Lamar Jackson went down with the apparent back injury. He struggled walking down to the locker room just now.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:37 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Officially, the Ravens said Lamar Jackson is now questionable to return with a back injury.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see if he comes back in the second half.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:36 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

The Ravens\u2019 drive fell apart after Lamar Jackson\u2019s injury, but they still added 3 points after the short field goal.<\/p>\n

Jackson is headed back to the locker room early.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:35 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

Tyler Huntley is in now for Lamar Jackson after he took a shot on a run there. It\u2019s not clear exactly what\u2019s wrong, but he looks like he\u2019s in a lot of pain on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:31 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

The Ravens are on the move at the two minute warning, thanks in part to a huge 18-yard toss to Charlie Kolar, and are now in scoring position at the break.<\/p>\n

Points here for the Ravens are critical before halftime.<\/p>\n

\"RyanSun, December 21, 2025 at 6:22 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ryan Young<\/p>\n

A huge sack and a miscommunication on a third down stalled the Patriots\u2019 drive there, but they still settled with a field goal.<\/p>\n

The Patriots are now in the lead for the first time tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New England and Baltimore are the Sunday Night game for Week 16 in an AFC battle for postseason…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[54181,33724,197895,64,63,613,596,1255,5384,5132,85,187238,45132,31888],"class_list":{"0":"post-363765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-afc","9":"tag-afc-east","10":"tag-afc-north-division","11":"tag-au","12":"tag-australia","13":"tag-baltimore","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-houston-texans","16":"tag-new-england","17":"tag-pittsburgh","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-sunday-night-game","20":"tag-the-patriots","21":"tag-the-ravens"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
