New england patriots vs Baltimore ravens match player stats
The new england patriots vs baltimore ravens match player stats from December 22, 2025, tell the story of a tightly contested 28-24 Patriots victory in which both teams found success in very different ways. New England relied heavily on Drake Maye’s passing production, Stefon Diggs’ receiving output, and a late scoring surge, while Baltimore generated much of its offensive production on the ground through Derrick Henry. The final score was New England Patriots 28, Baltimore Ravens 24, with the Patriots improving to 12-3 and the Ravens moving to 7-8.
This was not a game where one statistical category explained everything. Baltimore ran the football effectively, New England moved the ball through the air, and both defenses produced important moments. The Ravens recorded four sacks and 10 quarterback hits, while the Patriots limited Baltimore’s passing game to 159 team passing yards. Turnovers also mattered, especially because Baltimore lost both of its recorded fumbles while New England lost one.
For readers studying individual performances, this matchup is especially useful because the box score shows how different offensive identities can produce a close game. Maye threw for 380 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, while Henry rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers alone show why the game remained competitive deep into the fourth quarter.
Game Overview
The game took place on December 22, 2025, with New England entering the matchup at 11-3 and Baltimore at 7-7 based on the supplied game data and finishing at 12-3 and 7-8 respectively.
New England scored 10 points in the second quarter, added three in the third, and then exploded for 15 points in the fourth quarter. Baltimore opened the game with seven points, added three in the second quarter, another seven in the third, and seven more in the fourth.
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Final |
| New England Patriots | 0 | 10 | 3 | 15 | 28 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 7 | 3 | 7 | 7 | 24 |
The scoring pattern is one of the most important parts of the game. Baltimore had the early advantage, but New England’s fourth-quarter production ultimately changed the outcome.
The Patriots’ 15 fourth-quarter points were especially significant because they represented more than half of their total scoring output. Baltimore, meanwhile, continued to score in the final period but could not match New England’s late surge.

new england patriots vs baltimore ravens match player stats: Passing
The passing comparison was one of the clearest statistical differences between the teams.
Drake Maye was the primary engine of the Patriots offense. He completed 31 of 44 attempts for 380 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, producing a 102.5 passer rating.
That is a substantial passing workload. Maye attempted 44 passes, meaning New England consistently leaned on its quarterback to create offensive production.
Drake Maye’s performance
Maye’s statistical line:
| Category | Drake Maye |
| Completions | 31 |
| Attempts | 44 |
| Passing Yards | 380 |
| Passing TDs | 2 |
| Interceptions | 1 |
| Passer Rating | 102.5 |
The most notable number is the 380 passing yards. Maye averaged approximately 8.6 yards per attempt based on the supplied passing line, showing that his workload was not simply based on short completions.
He also produced two touchdown passes, giving New England the passing efficiency needed to keep pace despite Baltimore’s stronger rushing output.
The one negative statistic was the interception. Against a Baltimore defense that recorded four sacks and 10 quarterback hits, avoiding additional turnovers was important. Maye still managed to finish with a passer rating above 100, which indicates that the overall production outweighed the mistake.
Baltimore’s quarterback production
Baltimore used Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley in the passing game.
Jackson completed 7 of 10 passes for 101 yards, while Huntley completed 9 of 10 for 65 yards.
| Ravens Quarterback | Comp | Att | Yards | TD | INT |
| Lamar Jackson | 7 | 10 | 101 | 0 | 0 |
| Tyler Huntley | 9 | 10 | 65 | 0 | 0 |
| Team Total | 16 | 20 | 159 | 0 | 0 |
The Ravens’ passing game was efficient in completion percentage but limited in overall yardage and scoring impact.
As a team, Baltimore completed 16 of 20 passes for 159 yards. There were no passing touchdowns and no interceptions.
That contrast with New England is striking. The Patriots produced 380 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, while Baltimore finished with 159 passing yards and no passing touchdowns.
The Ravens therefore had to rely much more heavily on their rushing attack.
Derrick Henry Leads the Ravens Rushing Attack
Derrick Henry was the most productive rusher in the game.
Henry carried the ball 18 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns. His average was approximately 7.1 yards per carry, making his performance one of the most efficient individual rushing displays in the matchup.
| Player | Carries | Rushing Yards | TD |
| Derrick Henry | 18 | 128 | 2 |
| Rhamondre Stevenson | 8 | 51 | 1 |
Henry’s 128 yards represented a major portion of Baltimore’s 171 team rushing yards.
The Ravens averaged 5.2 yards per carry as a team across 33 rushing attempts. That is considerably stronger than New England’s 3.4-yard average.
This difference creates an interesting statistical contrast. Baltimore was substantially more productive on the ground, but New England’s passing advantage was even larger.
Why Henry’s numbers mattered
Henry’s contribution was not limited to yardage.
He scored twice, giving Baltimore a reliable source of points from the running game. His 128 yards also helped Baltimore maintain offensive balance despite limited passing production.
For a team that finished with only 159 passing yards, 171 rushing yards gave Baltimore enough total offensive production to remain within one possession throughout the game.
The challenge for Baltimore was that strong rushing numbers did not translate into enough total points to protect the lead.
Patriots Rushing Production
New England’s rushing game was much quieter.
The Patriots recorded 23 rushing attempts for 79 yards and one touchdown, averaging 3.4 yards per carry.
Rhamondre Stevenson led the Patriots with eight carries for 51 yards and one touchdown.
| Category | Patriots |
| Rushing Attempts | 23 |
| Rushing Yards | 79 |
| Average | 3.4 |
| Rushing TDs | 1 |
Stevenson’s 51 yards accounted for a significant portion of the Patriots’ rushing output.
The important point is that New England did not need its running game to dominate statistically. Instead, the Patriots’ offensive balance came from the combination of limited rushing production and a highly productive passing attack.
This is one of the most useful lessons from the matchup. Total offensive success does not always require equal production from every phase. New England generated enough through the air to compensate for a less productive rushing performance.
Receiving Leaders
Stefon Diggs was the leading receiver for New England, finishing with nine receptions for 138 yards.
That was one of the most productive individual receiving performances in the game.
| Patriots Receiver | Receptions | Yards | TD |
| Stefon Diggs | 9 | 138 | 0 |
| Kyle Williams | 2 | 46 | 1 |
| Hunter Henry | 6 | 35 | 1 |
Diggs’ nine receptions gave Maye a dependable target throughout the contest. His 138 yards also represented a major portion of the Patriots’ offensive passing production.
Kyle Williams added two receptions for 46 yards and one touchdown, while Hunter Henry caught six passes for 35 yards and one touchdown.
The Patriots recorded 31 receptions for 380 receiving yards and two touchdowns according to the supplied team data.
Stefon Diggs’ impact
Diggs did not need a touchdown to have a major influence on the passing game.
His 138 receiving yards made him the Patriots’ primary yardage producer through the air. Nine receptions also indicate that he was involved consistently rather than relying on one isolated big play.
That kind of target volume is especially valuable in a close game because it gives the quarterback a reliable option when the defense creates pressure.
Hunter Henry and Kyle Williams
Hunter Henry’s six receptions provided another layer of consistency for New England.
His receiving touchdown also directly contributed to the team’s scoring total.
Kyle Williams, meanwhile, produced fewer catches but made his opportunities count. His two receptions resulted in 46 yards and one touchdown.
This is a good example of why reception totals should not always be viewed in isolation. A player with two receptions can still have a major effect if those opportunities generate explosive yardage or points.
Ravens Receiving Leaders
Zay Flowers led Baltimore’s receiving group with seven receptions for 84 yards.
| Ravens Receiver | Receptions | Yards | TD |
| Zay Flowers | 7 | 84 | 0 |
The Ravens finished with 16 team receptions for 166 receiving yards and no receiving touchdowns.
Flowers therefore accounted for roughly half of Baltimore’s receiving yardage.
The Ravens’ receiving statistics also reinforce how heavily the offense depended on its rushing attack. Their receivers accumulated 166 yards, but none of those yards resulted in a passing touchdown.
New England’s defense therefore faced a Baltimore offense that could move the ball but had less scoring production through the air.
Defensive Player Stats
Defense played an important role even though the final score reached 52 combined points.
The Patriots recorded 64 tackles, 38 solo tackles, one sack, four tackles for loss, one pass defended, and five quarterback hits.
Baltimore recorded 58 tackles, 48 solo tackles, four sacks, five tackles for loss, seven passes defended, and 10 quarterback hits.
| Defensive Category | Patriots | Ravens |
| Total Tackles | 64 | 58 |
| Solo Tackles | 38 | 48 |
| Sacks | 1 | 4 |
| Tackles for Loss | 4 | 5 |
| Passes Defended | 1 | 7 |
| QB Hits | 5 | 10 |
The Ravens clearly generated more quarterback pressure. Four sacks and 10 quarterback hits show that Baltimore was able to disrupt Maye despite his strong overall passing numbers.
Jack Gibbens
Jack Gibbens led New England with 10 tackles, including three solo tackles.
His 10 tackles were the highest individual total among Patriots defenders in the supplied statistics.
The number also illustrates how much defensive work New England’s players had to perform against a Baltimore rushing attack that generated 171 yards.
Roquan Smith
Roquan Smith led Baltimore with 10 tackles, including eight solo tackles.
His eight solo tackles demonstrate the extent of his individual involvement in the defensive effort.
Baltimore’s defense also recorded four sacks and seven passes defended, suggesting that the unit created multiple opportunities to disrupt New England’s passing game.
Turnovers and Hidden Swing Points
Turnovers are often among the most important statistics in a close NFL game.
The Patriots recorded three fumbles, lost one, and recovered four fumbles according to the supplied data.
Baltimore recorded two fumbles, lost both, and recovered one.
| Turnover Category | Patriots | Ravens |
| Fumbles | 3 | 2 |
| Fumbles Lost | 1 | 2 |
| Fumble Recoveries | 4 | 1 |
| Interceptions Thrown | 1 | 0 |
| Interceptions Made | 0 | 1 |
Baltimore’s two lost fumbles were particularly important because the game was decided by only four points.
The Ravens did record an interception through Marlon Humphrey. Humphrey finished with one interception for zero return yards and no touchdown.
New England did not record an interception.
The turnover picture was therefore mixed. The Patriots threw one interception and lost one fumble, while Baltimore lost two fumbles but did not throw an interception.
In a four-point game, those possessions become especially important when evaluating why the final score did not simply follow the yardage advantage in one category.
Marlon Humphrey’s Interception
Marlon Humphrey’s interception was Baltimore’s only defensive interception in the supplied statistics.
The play mattered because Maye otherwise produced a highly productive passing performance.
A defense does not need to completely shut down a quarterback to influence a game. Pressure, sacks, pass breakups, and turnovers can all change the value of individual drives.
Baltimore’s four sacks and one interception showed that its defense created several disruptive moments even though New England ultimately scored 28 points.
Special Teams Statistics
Special teams were another part of the statistical picture.
Andy Borregales was perfect on field goals, making two of two attempts with a long of 45 yards. He also made both extra-point attempts for eight total points.
Tyler Loop made one of two field-goal attempts for Baltimore, with a long of 36 yards. He converted all three extra-point attempts and finished with six points.
| Kicker | FG | Long | XP | Points |
| Andy Borregales | 2/2 | 45 | 2/2 | 8 |
| Tyler Loop | 1/2 | 36 | 3/3 | 6 |
The missed field goal on Baltimore’s side is notable when examining a four-point final margin. Field-goal opportunities become particularly valuable in games where the final score is decided by a single possession.
New England’s Kyle Williams also led the Patriots in kick returns with three returns for 89 yards, averaging 29.7 yards per return with a long of 36.
Baltimore’s kick returners included Rasheen Ali with one return for 29 yards and LaJohntay Wester with one return for 20 yards. Wester also had one punt return for 11 yards.
Bryce Baringer recorded one punt for New England, traveling 49 yards. Jordan Stout punted twice for Baltimore for a combined 84 yards, averaging 42.0 yards per punt.
How the Teams Produced Their Offense
The clearest tactical difference in the numbers is offensive distribution.
New England’s production was heavily tilted toward the passing game.
Baltimore’s production was much more balanced toward rushing.
Patriots offensive profile
The Patriots:
- Passed 44 times.
- Completed 31 passes.
- Produced 380 passing yards through Maye’s individual line.
- Scored two passing touchdowns.
- Rushed 23 times.
- Produced 79 rushing yards.
- Scored one rushing touchdown.
This profile suggests an offense that relied on quarterback-led production and receiving volume.
Ravens offensive profile
The Ravens:
- Attempted 20 team passes.
- Completed 16.
- Produced 159 passing yards.
- Scored no passing touchdowns.
- Rushed 33 times.
- Produced 171 rushing yards.
- Scored three rushing touchdowns.
The difference is clear. Baltimore ran the football 10 more times than New England, while New England threw substantially more passes.
That contrast shaped the entire game.
What the Box Score Says About the Game
The raw numbers reveal several important themes.
First, Baltimore’s rushing attack was extremely productive. Henry’s 128 yards and two touchdowns formed the foundation of a 171-yard team rushing performance.
Second, New England’s passing game created the larger explosive statistical advantage. Maye’s 380 passing yards and Diggs’ 138 receiving yards gave the Patriots a way to generate offense even without a strong rushing average.
Third, Baltimore’s defense created more pressure. Four sacks and 10 quarterback hits are significant numbers against a quarterback who still finished with 380 passing yards.
Fourth, turnovers kept the game competitive. Baltimore lost two fumbles, while New England lost one fumble and threw one interception.
Finally, the fourth quarter decided the outcome. New England scored 15 points in the final period, while Baltimore scored seven.
Why Drake Maye’s 380-Yard Game Matters
A 380-yard passing performance in a four-point victory deserves attention because it shows how strongly the Patriots depended on Maye.
The Ravens did not allow an easy afternoon. Their defense produced four sacks, 10 quarterback hits, and seven passes defended.
Yet Maye still completed 31 passes and generated 380 yards with two touchdowns.
The one interception prevents the performance from being perfect, but the overall numbers demonstrate that he remained productive despite defensive pressure.
For people analyzing quarterback performances, this is an important distinction. Completion percentage alone does not tell the whole story. Maye’s combination of volume, yardage, touchdowns, and passer rating provides a much broader picture.
Why Derrick Henry’s 128 Yards Still Stand Out
Henry’s performance deserves equal attention even though Baltimore lost.
He averaged approximately 7.1 yards per carry and scored twice. Baltimore as a team averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
Those are strong rushing numbers.
The limitation was not Henry’s individual efficiency. Instead, Baltimore’s overall passing production was modest compared with New England’s.
This creates a useful analytical lesson. A player can dominate his individual statistical category while his team still loses because football outcomes depend on the interaction of multiple units.
Henry did what the rushing numbers suggest he was asked to do. The Ravens simply did not produce enough total scoring to turn that rushing advantage into a victory.
Comparing the Main Statistical Leaders
A direct comparison makes the different styles even easier to see.
| Statistical Area | Patriots Leader | Ravens Leader |
| Passing | Drake Maye, 380 yards | Lamar Jackson, 101 yards |
| Rushing | Rhamondre Stevenson, 51 yards | Derrick Henry, 128 yards |
| Receiving | Stefon Diggs, 138 yards | Zay Flowers, 84 yards |
| Tackles | Jack Gibbens, 10 | Roquan Smith, 10 |
| Defensive Takeaways | None | Marlon Humphrey, 1 INT |
| Kick Returns | Kyle Williams, 89 yards | Rasheen Ali, 29 yards |
The table shows how differently the two teams generated production.
New England’s largest statistical advantage came through the passing game.
Baltimore’s largest advantage came through rushing.
Both teams had a defender reach 10 tackles, while Baltimore generated the only interception.
What These Stats Mean for Player Evaluation
Box scores are most useful when they are interpreted rather than simply repeated.
For Maye, the combination of 380 yards, two touchdowns, and a 102.5 rating points to a high-volume passing performance. The interception and Baltimore’s pressure statistics add important context.
For Henry, 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns demonstrate strong individual efficiency. His performance was not diminished simply because Baltimore finished with 24 points.
For Diggs, nine receptions and 138 yards show consistent involvement and high receiving volume.
For Flowers, seven receptions and 84 yards indicate that he was the most productive Baltimore receiver, particularly in a passing attack that produced no receiving touchdowns.
For Smith and Gibbens, 10 tackles each show how heavily both defenses relied on their leading tacklers.
