The New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens have a lot to play for in this top-lining afternoon NFL Sunday week 16 football game from Baltimore, MD. Both teams hve the potential to clinch their divisions with wins when we watch Patriots vs Ravens online free live streaming on CBS Sports by following the links found below.
The Patriots (10-4) are a win away from winning the AFC East for the fifth consecutive year and only have to beat the Ravens on the road to accomplish the feat. The only problem for the Patriots is that Baltimore is playing their best football of the season right now, and the Patriots have dropped their past two games against them including the AFC Championship game last year.
Last week New England and their fans found themselves in the same situation they have been in for virtually the entire past two months. Trailing in the second half and needing a big Tom Brady comeback drive, the Patriots finally were stopped in the closing seconds, this time by the Dolphins. Brady drove them to Miami’s 19 yard line with 27 seconds left but could do no more on the final four plays of the game.
There’s concern in New England with Rob Gronkowski lost for the remainder of the year with a torn ACL. That has put pressure on Brady to use his wide receivers more including Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. That strategy worked for the most part against the Dolphins as the duo combined for 270 yards, but they failed to make the big plays at the end of the game.

Baltimore’s (8-6) playoff picture is a little more complicated. They need to beat the Patriots today in what would be their sixth consecutive win on the road. If they can do that and Cincinnati loses, they will clinch the AFC North by owning the tie-breaker after Justin Tucker booted a 61-yard field goal on Monday Night Football to down the Detroit Lions in dramatic fashion.
The Ravens haven’t been putting up huge offensive numbers but they seem to be doing just enough to win football games. They consistently are averaging around 313.3 yards per game that never drops much lower or goes much higher than that. Of concern this afternoon will be the health of quarterback Joe Flacco who dinged up his knee with a helmet hit against the Lions. He will play today but may not be 100 percent.
