7 takeaways from Ravens’ 23-17 loss to the Patriots

In the rain and under the lights of “Sunday Night Football,” the Baltimore Ravens dropped their third loss of the season, this time to the New England Patriots. This loss is a little unlike the others, however, and requires a closer look at where the team stands right now and the expectations moving forward.

While Baltimore made some positive strides this week and there’s a clearer picture about where they need to improve, this loss stings. The Ravens came into this game as heavy favorites with the weather and their opponent’s weaknesses seemingly geared up to further favor Baltimore’s strengths. But lackluster and inconsistent play combined with some sloppiness in sloppy conditions saw New England not only take the Ravens the distance but outright beat them.

There’s a lot Baltimore needs to learn from this loss to improve this season and beyond. Here are the seven things we can take away from the Ravens’ Week 10 loss to the Patriots.
