After the Patriots gave up 182 rushing yards against Derrick Henry, Ravens safety Earl Thomas took a shot at the Pats defense while talking to the media this week.
He’s a cutback runner. He’s very patient. He’ll find creases. And guys didn’t seem like they was too interested in tackling him.
“I think our mindset is a little different.

In the first half of the Ravens-Titans game, Earl Thomas tried to tackle Henry and got stiff-armed into oblivion.

Patriots fans were quick to remind Thomas about his pregame quote.
