With Jakobi Meyers' 24-yard touchdown pass against the Ravens, non-quarterbacks on the Patriots are 3-for-3 for 62 yards on the season. New England produced 25 first downs on offense and did enough on defense to pull off the upset.

Just when you think it's time to bury them, they rise up and upset a good Ravens team. That was a masterful coaching job by Bill Belichick. Would you expect anything less?

Get to know the name J.C. Jackson, a corner with a league-best six INTs -- including one in a team record five consecutive games.

What would they take back: Cam Newton's fumble at Buffalo

If the ball was in the quarterback's left hand or simply better protected, the Patriots at least would have tied the Week 8 game with a short field goal (if not win it) late in the fourth quarter. The Patriots' record would then possibly be flipped to 5-4, and they would be 3-0 in division play. That marked the third game this season the Patriots had lost in the fourth quarter when trailing by one score with a chance to win. -- Mike Reiss

A narrow victory over the Jets on Monday Night Football followed by an impressive upset win over the Ravens at soggy Gillette Stadium has revitalized the Patriots' season. The latest conquest was a total team effort: Cam Newton was smart and efficient in terrible conditions, Damien Harris led a rushing attack that bullied Baltimore's injury-depleted front seven, and the defense never let Lamar Jackson make impact plays to swing the game. The Patriots are a team with a ceiling -- they're not special like they once were -- but at 4-5, you get the feeling they just might hang around in the AFC playoff picture. This is a team with a brilliant head coach, savvy veteran quarterback and elite offensive line -- teams have won with less.
