How Lamar Jackson and the RPO embarrassed the New England defense

The New England Patriots got steamrolled by the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night in all four phases of the game. The Patriots not only got outplayed on offense, defense, and special teams, but they got out-coached as well… something we don’t see too often from Bill Belichick or his staff.

Looking back on years past, the Patriots have had their share of problems in defending running quarterbacks. In recent seasons, the Pats have struggled against Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, and now Lamar Jackson. Jackson and his Ravens offense weren’t anything like what the Patriots have seen so far either this season or for a very long time.
