New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens AFC NFL Playoff Schedule 2012

What’s the captivating things in this Patriots vs Ravens game? Of course most of the conversations are solidly founded in the offense vs defense battle. New England possessing the most explosive offense among the four teams left in the NFL against the most stingy defense left the Ravens. In the New England offense, quarterback Tom Brady will be engraving himself as one of the best quarterbacks of all time if not the best. If he wins, he will be in his fifth Super Bowl appearances and has a chance to win his fourth. Without a doubt if Brady wins this Super Bowl 46, he will be considered the greatest quarterback of all time though it can be argued. Brady’s offense will surely be the focus of the defense of the Baltimore Ravens. Brady knows exactly how to manage the game and he understands how he will navigate through the mouth of the vaunted defense of the Baltimore Ravens. With Brady taking care of the offense with great command, the Patriots will be unstoppable, are they?

For Baltimore, the defense has been the key to their success this season. Second to the Steelers in giving up yardage on the ground, and one of the league leaders in stopping the opponents passing game. Ravens will rely again on how they play their defense effectively. Pass rushing Brady will be the key for the Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl. If they will hit Brady at least seven times in this AFC Championship Game, then the Ravens will be a tough to beat. Also Joe Flacco must make wise decisions as he is the center of the offense. He must aggressively throw down field so that his team will have the confidence to play the passing game. With Flacco being aggressive and taking some risks, don’t surprise if the Ravens will make it all the way.
