So, the New England Patriots’ Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens did not get off to the hottest start.
In fact, it was downright dismal.
The Patriots racked up just four yards in the first quarter of “Sunday Night Football,” their worst first quarter of the 2019 season. It’s also the second-fewest first-quarter yards earned by New England in the last 15 seasons, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The only first-quarter performance worse than this was the 2-yard first quarter against the Miami Dolphins in 2017.
From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Patriots' 4 first-quarter yards are their second-fewest in the last 15 seasons (2 at Dolphins in 2017).
