There's an air of invincibility and inevitability about the New England Patriots.
Invincible because since last December, they haven't lost. Inevitable because of the feeling they will find a way -- something they did in their toughest test this season, edging the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 on Stephen Gostkowski's 32-yard field goal with 1 second remaining.
"You're one kick away from being Public Enemy No. 1," Gostkowski said. "You're always one kick away from trending on Twitter as the No. 1 loser in America.
"But it's fun being on a good team. It's kind of like being on a baseball team where everybody's got a hit, and you can't wait to get up there and get a hit, too."
The Ravens, who seemed to have New England's number, were poised to knock off the Patriots (9-0) with Lamar Jackson tying the game with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Jackson had found Hayden Hurst on a 4th-and-one play action play with Bentley whiffing on the pass deflection as Hurst found the endzone.
After Justin Tucker's extra point, Tom Brady drove the Patriots 59 yards, converting a third-and-four on the series. Brady had back-to-back gains of eleven yards to Julian Edelman to get new England on the 31-yard line where Baltimore started calling timeout. The Ravens were then unable to stop New England's running attack from gaining two more first downs, essentially killing the clock.
Gostkowski sent his winning kick soaring through the uprights.
In a game between long time rivals, it was a few new faces that made splashes. Willie Snead had five catches for 44 yards and a 96-yard run on a lateral pass for the Ravens. Jackson, in his first game against New England, went 22 of 25 for 273 yards and 62 yards on the ground. Mark Ingram also knocked in two touchdowns with 62 yards rushins as well.
A literal newcomer for the Patriots was tight end Jonnu Smith who led the team with seven catches for 102 yards. Smith was recently acquired in a trade from the Titans and didn't take long to make his impact despite not starting the game.
