You never want to make too much out of one game, especially in week three, but it would be hard to argue that after week one the Pats and Ravens look like the two best teams in the AFC. The Pats don’t have an exactly killer schedule this year so I wouldn’t say that homefield advantage hangs in the balance but neither team should lose more than four games so there could definitely be some implications down the road.
In simplest terms this game could determine where the rematch is.
