The Ravens took down the New England Patriots in front of a raucous home crowd, 37-20, handing them their first defeat of the season.
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put on a show against the league’s number one-ranked defense in front of a nationally-televised audience, rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for another score.

The Patriots defense was off to a historic start this season, having had only allowed four offensive TDs and no more than 14 points in a game in their first eight contests.
The Ravens scored four offensive touchdowns and put up 37 on the vaunted Pats’ defense, as they improved their record to 6-2, only 1 1/2 games behind New England for the AFC’s top seed.
The Ravens’ ground attack, which also featured Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill, combined for 210 total rushing yards.
Lamar is on another level 😳 @lj_era8 #RavensFlock

Rory McIlroy Continues Dominance, Wins WGC-HSBC Champions in Playoff Over Xander Schauffele
A winner in China. 🇨🇳
@McIlroyRory wins in a playoff at the WGC-HSBC Champions! 🏆
The reigning #FedExCup champ claims his first victory of the season and 4th of the 2019 calendar year.
While most U.S. golf fans were asleep overnight on Saturday, Rory McIlroy was continuing his winning ways, capturing the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai, China.
McIlroy held off a valiant effort from the defending champion Xander Schauffele, beating him in a playoff to win his first World Golf Championship event since 2015.
The 26-year-old American, Schauffele, trailed by two strokes with four holes to play but birdied the 15th and 18th to force extra holes.
Respect among champions.
On the first hole of the sudden-death playoff, McIlroy capitalized on a huge drive on the par-five 18th to score a birdie, while Schauffele wasn’t able to convert a 12-foot birdie putt to extend the playoff.
“Deep.”
@McIlroyRory makes no mistake off the tee to begin the playoff. 🚀
The reigning FedExCup champion McIlroy has begun the 2019-2020 season with a win and a third-place finish, that he took last week at the inaugural ZOZO Championship in Japan.
📺 @McIlroyRory‘s final round in 3 minutes?
Say no more. 👇
The 30-year-old has now won four tournaments in this calendar year.
4th win in last 15 starts.
16 top-10s in last 21 starts.
34 under in last 7 rounds.
Golf is simple … if you’re @McIlroyRory right now.
“The four wins this year have been wonderful. THE PLAYERS Championship, RBC Canadian Open, THE TOUR Championship to win the FedExCup, big events,” said McIlroy.
“But more than that, I think it is the consistency that I’m bringing week-in, week-out. Even if I don’t have my best stuff, at least give myself a chance.”
A great ending to a special week in Shanghai!
Thank you to @HSBC_Sport for putting on such a wonderful tournament. It gets better and better every year. The support was amazing this week with the biggest crowds yet. It’s fun to see the excitement for the sport growing in China!
In this remarkable run of consistency, McIlroy has finished in the top 10 in 16 of his last 21 PGA TOUR starts.
