"This Sunday's contest between the Patriots and Ravens has major implications for both sides, as both teams still have a shot at winning their respective divisions. The Patriots (11-3) have the AFC East in their control, as they can win out and guarantee their first title since 2019. The Ravens (7-7), while currently second in the AFC North, can also win their division if they win their remaining games, as they play the Steelers in Week 18."
"Coming off a 24-0 win over the Bengals, the Ravens should come in with confidence, but Harbaugh still knows to be worried about the Patriots' offense. "Big plays is the biggest thing when you look at their offense," Harbaugh told reporters. "They've just had a bunch of big plays, big runs. That rookie running back is fast and explosive. Boy you better have your angles set up on him.""
Patriots are 11-3 and can clinch the AFC East by winning out to secure the first division title since 2019. Ravens are 7-7 and can still win the AFC North with victories in remaining games, including Week 18 against the Steelers. After a 1-5 start, the Ravens improved to 7-7 and recently beat the Bengals 24-0. The Patriots' offense generates frequent big plays and explosive runs; rookie running back Treveyon Henderson had 148 yards and two touchdowns against the Bills and seven touchdowns in New England's last five games. Drake Maye has thrown for 3,567 yards and 23 touchdowns and ranks fifth in passing yards.
