Nfl Playoff 2010: Baltimore Ravens Vs. New England Patriots

In the Baltimore Ravens vs

In the Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots game, several things helped New England beat Baltimore 27-21, not the least of which was the Pats' ever-better defense. The current feeling all week is that defense will determine the result of this game. And it is what comes about. But New England's underestimated unit and not Baltimore's much-rated bunch that lived up the biggest when it was needed.

Holding on to a six-point lead with only five minutes to go in the match, the Patriots twice got the Ravens on fourth-down attempts, once near midfield and the other in Pats red zone. While the Pats defense had a hard time to stop the Ravens Ray Rice second-year running back on the afternoon with 11 carries for 103 yards, plus a 50-yard gallop, Baltimore decided to throw the ball to Willis McGahee the backup on fourth-and-one from their own 45 at the 5:17 mark. Gary Guyton Linebacker and Brandon McGowan safety joined to stop McGahee just short of the necessary spot.

The last effort came with just thirty seconds remaining. Baltimore had run from their 20-yard line down to New England's 20. On first down, Joe Flacco quarterback threw a pass into the end zone to Mark Clayton that was too far for his arms. Kelley Washington a former Patriot picked up six yards with a reception on the next play.

Flacco's next pass was secured inside the 10 by the Pats secondary. After, on fourth down, Clayton almost had first down yardage, but the pass went off his body and Patriots defenders tapped it away and the game ended. That is situational football, said Adalius Thomas. Being able to assess the situation and knowing how to respond.

The Patriots defense has now apprehended opponents to 17, 16, 10, and 14 points in four games; this does not include the two Tom Brady turnovers that resulted in opponents' scores. They continue to look for ways to help the team win, even with injuries and first-year players coping up to the system. The defense is great right now, said Logan Mankins a guard. You can say a lot about the guys since they made a good job. I think a lot of plays were left out there, Thomas added.

But we made it. It was not great, but you will have to take it and try to learn from the mistakes and get better. We are all having fun, concluded Meriweather. We are getting used to play as one. We are learning what kind of stuff each player can do. This is the reason why the Patriots have a 3-1 score. This is what the match between Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots is made of.
