"The team we saw in the first half last week must be the one that plays the entire game in Baltimore, especially if they want to be considered a legitimate threat come the postseason. They've shown glimpses of just that, as head coach John Harbaugh pointed out to reporters this week, yet they haven't managed to maintain that level of production throughout an entire game."
"The Patriots' offense looked locked and loaded in the first half last week, putting up 21 points quickly, with Maye running into the end zone for two scores himself. Topping it off was a 52-yard run by Henderson, breaking tackles left and right and boosting his Offensive Player of the Year candidacy and showing the Ravens' defense what they're in for, which is exactly what he accomplished based on Harbaugh's comments."
""Big plays is the biggest thing when you look at their offense. They've just had a bunch of big plays [and] big runs. They have a rookie running back [in TreVeyon Henderson] that's fast and explosive. Boy, you better have your angle set up on him. They're physical, obviously, and [Drake] Maye's made some nice throws, and sometimes he runs"
The Patriots can clinch a playoff berth with a victory over the Ravens after failing to win the AFC East. The team’s postseason fate depends on sustaining the first-half offensive form for an entire game. The Patriots produced 21 unanswered first-half points last week, including two touchdowns from Drake Maye and a 52-yard explosive run by TreVeyon Henderson. Henderson’s speed and tackle-breaking ability have elevated his Offensive Player of the Year profile. The Ravens are preparing for a big-play offense and will focus on containing explosive runs and Maye’s dual-threat capability to prevent a primetime upset.
