Patrick Chung, S

This is one of those games where the versatility of veteran safety Patrick Chung will be an X-factor for the New England Patriots defense.

Not only will Chung be used in the box to try to help stop the run, he will be huge in the passing game going up against the Ravens tight end tandem of Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle.

Though Chung has been banged up the last couple of weeks, this is the type of game he gets up for.  It is also the type of matchup where Bill Belichick utilizes the hard-hitting safety as more of a hybrid role.

Going up against Lamar Jackson and the pistol offense, having players on the field that can play the run and pass will be key.  Expect Patrick Chung to sniff out a couple of big plays in this one as the linebackers and safeties will play a big role in confusing Jackson and limiting the running game.
