Patriots’ tight ends are what Hawks’ Miller & Carlson should be

Via Outside The Press Box  |  January 22, 2012
Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez have become the best tight end tandem in the league, something they proved once again in New England’s 45-10 blowout of the Broncos last weekend.

Via The Purple Chaos  |  January 20, 2012
It’s no secret the identity of the Baltimore Ravens’ offense is their running game, but you could have been fooled by watching them in short-yardage situations in their divisional-round victory over the Houston Texans last week.

In the fourth quarter of the New England Patriots' wild win over the Baltimore Ravens, Jimmy Smith and Bernard Pollard teamed up for a must-see interception that changed the game's momentum in favor of the Ravens.

FOXBORO, MA — With the New England Patriots set to face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, one player who have something on the line is quarterback Tom Brady.

Instant analysis: The most heartbreaking loss in Ravens history

Via baltimoresun.com  |  January 22, 2012
Kevin Van Valkenburg, staff writer: I think it's probably fair to call this the most heartbreaking loss in Ravens history. If Lee Evans puts two hands on a perfectly-thrown touchdown pass, the Ravens are going to the Super Bowl. If Billy Cundiff makes an easy field goal, they're still fighting in overtime. Other than one interception, Joe Flacco played the game of his life...
