So with the Patriots on a huge 8 game run and now up for a real challenge where they only challenge in the first 8 games was of Course the Baltimore Ravens. Seeing The Ravens even when they didn't win against the Kansas City Chiefs that was one of the most resilient fight backs. For the Patriots well I will tell you this though they have been dominating against teams they were supposed to beat except the Steelers and the Bills and on top of that they had loads of shutouts and allowed almost every game less than 30 points, and oh man it was really insane even allowing few touchdowns as well. As for the Ravens Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have also been on a roll when he was frustrated with settling for Field Goals you can he that he wanted scores and the fact that he out dueled Seahawks Super Bowl winning Quarterback Russel Wilson. Well it was also much thanks to the Ravens Defense. Seeing the intensity in their last game against the Seahawks, led to intriguing questions on will the Ravens be a challenge against the New England Patriots?
The Answer to the question is Beyond Yes.
Beyond Yes because they were not just a challenge to the New England Patriots, they were a huge problem to the Patriots. And the fact that the Patriots were on the Road against the Rowdy Fans of the Baltimore Ravens really gave a lot of fuel to the players. Lamar Jackson especially even during their rough 2 game slide you can see Lamar Jackson put in an effort in putting their team on the board, just displaying that energy and even how they rebound from the 2 game slide. Watching Lamar Jackson's highlights especially the one that stood out was against the Chiefs especially where the Ravens defense struggled against Pat Mahomes, and Lamar Jackson put in an effort to carry the team even if they lost he still brought the game closer. Even against the Browns where they have struggled defensively still had a fair display of Offense from Lamar Jackson where he threw 3 defensive touchdowns and had a good amount of rushing yards, so the huge talk of Lamar Jackson is a huge factor being behind the coach of John Harbaugh.
On to the Patriots they have won 8 games and the closest game they had so far before the Baltimore Ravens was the Buffalo Bills where it was a defensive slug fest. And then had multiple games especially against two of their division foes where there were shutouts. Even where they were getting consecutive interceptions. Games that could have been upsets turned out to be major blowouts which explains that the Patriots seemed like they were not ready against the Baltimore Ravens. When the Ravens really came ready and came storming after their bye week with a load of momentum. The Patriots never faced a tough team like the Ravens especially being on the road, and a tough quarterback like in Lamar Jackson and not even expecting a quarterback like Lamar Jackson to overcome the tough Patriots defense. Another part of the game was where Earl Thomas really showed up against Tom Brady and dominated and the Ravens Secondary and the rest of the pass defense was a phenomenon.
A took away I really got from the game was is How are you showing up against challenges and even do you show up every week against problems with energy and desire no matter what the circumstances are. Especially if you want to strive for something higher and not settle like where Lamar Jackson was not settling for field goals but really striving to score touchdowns which he was getting whether it was rushing or even passing. Are you going for something higher, or aiming to be higher or are you settling just being comfortable where you are, just being complacent with what you have. Well Seeing how Lamar Jackson played as of late has set a lot of volumes and even set a tone of the work ethic of the whole team of the Baltimore Ravens which also explains how strong is my work ethic. Having a Strong work ethic not just in the employment field but in different aspects of your life really leans on how you are not really overcome but standing up to whatever you are against. The story I explained was on my rough days when I did the paper route with my brother on Sunday and it really felt like I would never get this done because I had to do over 200 papers, and even when I was not there my brother had to do over 200 papers, which explains doing more houses. It was one of the toughest days but one thing I had to overcome and strive to get things done sooner, and eventually mange to complete my challenge and also make a task and try to complete in which low and behold I did.
