Coach Payton shared some statistics he had in his mind as he went into the game Sunday:
-- Before Sunday, the Ravens, since 2017, were 13-0 in games in which they led at halftime and 0-9 in games in which they trailed. (So much for that: The halftime score was 10-7, Baltimore.)
-- Also since 2017, the Ravens were 13-1 when holding their opponent to 20 points or fewer -- and 0-8 when surrendering 23 or more. (Make that 0-9.) And since 2008, when Harbaugh became the Ravens' coach and Flacco, then a rookie, seized the starting quarterback job, Baltimore was 19-54 in games in which its opponent scored at least 21 points. "We knew going in: 21 was the number," Payton said.
-- Since 2017, the Ravens were 13-2 in games in which they had possession for at least 29:44, and 0-7 when they held the ball for 28:54 or fewer. (That trend held Sunday, as the Saints won the time-of-possession battle, 33:31 to 26:29.)
