Tedy Bruschi Delivers Simple Message To Patriots After Ugly Loss Vs. Ravens

The New England Patriots have the best defense in the NFL, but that didn’t help them win the Week 9 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Jason Whitlock decided to bet against the Patriots, and it looks like made a real prediction. Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Brusci doesn’t believe that this loss is actually bad for New England.

“To beat this Raven team in the playoffs, this almost had to happen,” he wrote.

Bruschi is making a good point. The Patriots didn’t lose the week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs last season. This helped the team defeat Patrick Mahomes and his squad in the AFC Championship Game.

Bruschi often comes with an advice for the Pats. He advised the team to keep working on their defense despite the fact that they added Mohamed Sanu.

“Realize who you are. A defensive dominated team. He will help, but don’t get too cute. Run it, take care of it, let defense continue to work.”

This was a terrible and unexpected loss, but it will definitely serve as a good lesson.

“The Patriots rolled into this perfect, unbeaten, the Ravens simply did not care,” NBC Sports’ Liam McHugh said. “They told anyone who would listen that they had an offense unlike any that the Pats had seen, they had a quarterback unlike anything the Pats had seen and Lamar Jackson went out and backed them up.”

“[T]he wider football world will no longer treat the Ravens as a semi-interesting team with an intriguing oddity at quarterback,” The Baltimore Sun’s Childs Walker wrote. “You don’t get to carry on in anonymity after you beat the NFL’s standard-bearer by 17 points after Lamar Jackson outdueled Tom Brady to establish himself as a serious MVP candidate at age 22.”

“The Ravens, with consecutive wins over Seattle (by 14) and New England (by 17), have wedged their way into the discussion of teams that can play deep into January,” NBC Sports’ Peter King wrote. “You had to respect what Baltimore did in Seattle. But starting this game with drives of 72, 54 and 72 yards, and going up 17-0 on New England? I mean, no team had scored 17 on the Patriots this year. Baltimore did it in 16 minutes.”
