Twitter reacts to Patriots upsetting Ravens, clinching playoff berth
The New England Patriots battled back on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens and overcame a double-digit deficit to win by a 28-24 margin.
With the victory, the Patriots have officially punched their ticket to the postseason for the first time since the 2021 season. They also have a legitimate shot at winning the No. 1 seed in the AFC conference after the Denver Broncos fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.
Maye eclipsed 300 yards passing for the first time this season by lighting up the Ravens' defense late for 380 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. His favorite target in the game was veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who hauled in nine catches for 138 yards.
There were several key injuries in the game, including Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson. It was an ugly game that forced the Patriots to dig deep and pull out the kind of performance they wished they had against the Buffalo Bills last week.
Here's what fans were saying on social media after the game:
