Related Topics: New England Patriots

The Patriots have been blessed with the easiest schedule in football this season, but that doesn't mean each game won't come with its own set of challenges. In Week 8, on the 26th of October, the Patriots will face a familiar foe of the organization, former Ravens quarterback turned Brown Joe Flacco.

Flacco played in Baltimore for a decade, winning a Super Bowl and being named the MVP in that same game. He recorded more than 38,000 passing yards with the Ravens, along with 212 touchdowns to 136 interceptions in his 163 games. Following his time in the state of Maryland, he became a journeyman backup and spot starter, making stops in Denver, Philadelphia, and with the Jets twice.
