Call TO with 16 seconds left.  Or throw it away.  Pats should have at least had 1 shot at the end zone there.

But, nice being up 6.   I think opening drive of 2nd half will be very big.  Ravens are having a very hard time stopping the Pats.  Would love to see Pats with the ball up 6.

Kind of a major deal for their defense.  Still, they're managing.

I can't help feeling like this game is playing out the way that the Ravens would like it to, though.

The Pats just aren't as scary in the Red Zone without Gronk, and the running game hasn't done as much damage as it needs to.

Not sure I agree completely.  Pats have run well on 1st down.  Also, Pats have run a lot of plays.  Tiring out the Ravens defense is part of the Pats plan.


Running a bunch of plays and only scoring 13 points . . . Ravens will take that any day.

Of course Ravens will take the 13 points.  But if a silver lining is there for the Pats, it is that the Ravens D may be gassed early. 

Good stop there for the Pats. Keep the ball moving Pats. Big drive now.

Hernandez is dang strong.

And Welker can take a hit.

I love when people say how uncharacteristic it is for Welker to drop balls. I heard it all season...

And another punt from the 35 yd line - great...

Patriots on their way to losing this one.

With a healthy Gronk they'd have converted a couple of TDs on those drives that became punts.

As it stands, they won't score enough points.

Yes Pats may lose this one.  Last drive stalling again was brutal.  Wind turning out to hurt the Pats more than the Ravens.  Would have had a couple long FG tries.

Come on Brady.

What's the score right now if the Pats have a healthy Gronk?

I'm thinking 27-14 or 20-14.  Pats would not have punted twice in Ravens territory with Gronk available.

Flacco outplaying Tom Brady again.  Maybe that's because he has more dangerous receiving options, but the fact remains.  Flacco is having a better game.

This is going a little bit like that game against the Jets.  Pats got by all season by forcing turnovers on defense.  They haven't done that so far, and the Ravens are playing physical D and stopping the Pats from getting points on the board.

Doesn't seem possible that Pats will stop Ravens here.  Ravens going through Pats like hot knife thru butter this half.
