The Patriots’ pass defense has been vulnerable to the outside, with the Patriots allowing a league-high 17 pass plays of 30+ yards on passes outside the numbers. Over the middle though, the Patriots have allowed just 5 such plays, one behind the league-lead.

[Stardust]

: Very little running room

[Stardust]

Edelman is being featured because the Ravens are putting a linebacker or safety on him

[Stardust]

Oher hobbling off the field

[Stardust]

Things are getting pushy in the trenches. Patriots are trying to prove they won't be pushed around

[Stardust]

Rookie third-round pick Jah Reid is in for an injured Michael Oher. Reid struggled in the preseason and has been limited in regular season.

[Stardust]

Expect front side blitzes to test Reid ASAP

[Stardust]

Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff is 11 of 20 on field goal attempts on the road this season

[Stardust]

I bet Pats concede those type of routes to Smith all day

End of 1, Pats 3-0, but Ravens ready to score

[Stardust]

Quick-hit thoughts after the 1st quarter, with the Patriots leading 3-0, but the Ravens driving

[Stardust]

The Patriots allowed the most Red Zone passing TDs this season with 22.

Decision time

[Stardust]

You cant run short yardage against Wilfork

[Stardust]

Tom Brady 1st Qtr Passing by Pass Rushers
4 or Fewer: 3-8, 20 yards, INT
5 or More: 4-4, 37 yards

[Stardust]

3-3 after the Cundiff FG

[Stardust]

I have no qualms about that decision at all

[Stardust]

Easy call there. Ravens have been horrible in short yardage all season, and the Ravens have had no success running up the middle against Pats today.

[Stardust]

You can't risk losing points because of a tradition that says you should go for it.

[Stardust]

it would be Ravens 7-3 if Flacco had thrown a decent pass to Torrey Smith.

[Stardust]

Couple early personnel notes: Of 19 offensive plays for Patriots, 8 come in 3 WR/2 TE package. ... 8 snaps for Julian Edelman at WR, 4 at CB

[Stardust]

The longer the Ravens can hang around the better, can't allow themselves to get burried by the pats Offense

[Stardust]

Tom Brady has a 35.8 passer rating in the first quarter. Good start by Baltimore's defense

[Stardust]

Odd to see Green-Ellis running out of the shotgun like that. Unconventional running game for the Patriots lately

[Stardust]

Smart move by New England. Ngata wasn't in the game those first two running plays. Brady saw it.

[Stardust]

Brady just a smidge off on that one too

[Stardust]

Four-man rush by the Ravens there. Not getting any pressure.

[Stardust]

Fans don't like that call, nor does Welker. Lot of contact from Williams going downfield

[Stardust]

Gronk gets involved.
