Players to Watch: Patriots at Ravens
Patriots.com's Mike Dussault shares his players to watch during the Patriots Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday, November 3, 2019.


Tom Brady, QB: With 13 touchdowns and four interceptions, Brady continues to play efficient football, breaking a four-game interception streak against the Browns. The Ravens have historically played Brady tough but this is an almost entirely new defense from the last one he saw from Baltimore. With his weaponry now set, Brady and the offense should be looking to make some positive strides.

N'Keal Harry, WR: The rookie first-rounder looks primed to make his Patriots debut on Sunday night after spending the first two months of the season on Injured Reserve. The big outside receiver should get his feet wet with some quality targets, and while two catches might be about all we can expect, it will be good to get him on track for the second half of the season.

Mohamed Sanu, WR: Sanu had two catches in his debut last week against the Browns but with a full week of practice Sanu should start to emerge as a useful weapon in the Patriots offense. The big inside target is a good compliment to Julian Edelman and should take some heat off of the Patriots offensive MVP. The most underrated part of his game? Run blocking.

Jamie Collins, LB: Collins should be one of the most valuable defensive pieces in trying to match up with Lamar Jackson's explosiveness. The athletic linebacker isn't going to run Jackson down, but his play on the edge, especially against read option plays, will be one of the key areas where this game is won or lost.

Patrick Chung, S: Chung is one of the most dynamic and underrated pieces of the Patriots secondary, shifting seamlessly from the box to coverage, play in and play out. With the Ravens three versatile tight ends, Chung will play a major role in this game.

Lamar Jackson, QB: The second-year quarterback is must-see TV this year, leading the Ravens to an impressive start and making eye-popping plays on almost every series. The Patriots will likely focus on making Jackson rely on his arm, but he's burned plenty of defenses who've tried the same plan of attack. He'll make plays, it will just be a matter of containing those plays and not giving up long scores that put the Patriots offense in a disadvantageous position.

Marquise Brown, WR: The rookie wide receiver made an immediate splash for the Ravens and, after missing two games, is expected to be back on the field on Sunday night. His speed, combined with Jackson's, give the Ravens an explosive duo that can stretch the field. He's a danger to score every time he's targeted.

Mark Andrews, TE: The Ravens play three tight ends but it's Andrews that is Jackson's safety blanket. Andrews should see plenty of Patrick Chung, especially on third down where he's the most targeted receiver. It's easy to get lost thinking about the deep speed of Brown and the escapability of Jackson, but Andrews is the one who keeps the chains moving.

Mark Ingram, RB: Ingram's physical running style is a perfect complement to the speed on the rest of the offensive roster. With seven touchdowns and 4.7 yards-per-attempt, Ingram is an effective back who is an ideal change of pace to keep the defense from putting their speediest personnel on the field.

Matt Judon, LB: This isn't the old Ravens defense, but Judon has emerged into their best pass rusher, leading the team with four sacks and 13 quarterback hits. The Ravens front seven lacks star power but they're a big, effective group and the Patriots tackles will have to make sure they have a plan for Judon.
