Weather can’t stop Newton, New England

FOXBOROUGH, MASS. » Cam Newton threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score and the New England Patriots fought through rain and wind to hold off the Baltimore Ravens 23- 17 on Sunday night.

Damien Harris ran for a career- high 121 yards to help the Patriots win consecutive games for the first time this season. Newton was 13- of- 17 for 118 yards. His touchdown pass, on a short sprint- out to Rex Burkhead in the first quarter, was his since first since Week 3 — a span of four games.

The Ravens’ road winning streak ended at 10. Baltimore is 0- 6 in the regular season in New England.

Lamar Jackson was 24- of- 34 for 249 yards and two touchdowns for the Ravens. New England bottled him up on the ground for most of the game, limiting him to just 11 rushes for 55 yards.

Down 23- 17, Baltimore had a chance to take the lead with 7: 09 left in the fourth quarter. But the possession quickly fell apart after an errant snap by center Matt Skura resulted in a 16- yard loss.

The Patriots got the ball back and were able to pick up enough first downs to run down the clock to just over a minute to play before putting the ball back.

As rain and wind pelted the field, the Ravens started the drive with a penalty, pushing them back to their own 9. Facing fourthand26 on the 21, Jackson had J. K. Dobbins open along the sideline, but Dobbins bobbled the ball for an incompletion and turnover on downs.

The loss came with additional costs for Baltimore, which will also be without one of its best blockers for the foreseeable future after tight end Nick Boyle was carted off the field with 6: 24 left in the third quarter with a knee injury.
