Quarterback Jackson completed 17 of 23 passes for 163 yards and ran for 61 more, while Mark Ingram rushed for a season-high 115 yards as Baltimore improved to 6-2 on the season.
"This man is the MVP. He is playing MVP type football," said Ravens safety Earl Thomas of Jackson. "I am right behind him. I am backing him.
"He makes my job that much easier. It just felt good to be part of a win like this."
Marlon Humphrey scored on a fumble return for the second straight game, and Thomas had an interception for the Ravens, who won their fourth consecutive game.
Tom Brady completed 30 of 46 passes for 285 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Patriots, whose loss leaves the San Francisco 49ers as the NFL's lone undefeated team at 8-0.
