Amazingly it came down to a 27-yard FG attempt by the Ravens' Justin Tucker with 0:02 on the game clock...Tucker ended up kicking it twice, as Bill Belichick attempted to freeze him with a called time-out. But the second one counted (just barely as it sailed inches inside the right post)...Funny, I watched the entire game, and never once had the feeling the Ravens were going to win it...The game-winning kick followed a pass interference call against Devin McCourty, who was covering Jacoby Jones. As the officials were leaving the field, Patriots coach Bill Belichick grabbed one of them by the arm. He didn't pursue as the official continued to run off the field. No doubt Belichick will be getting a Fed Ex envelope from NFL Headquarters tomorrow."I'm not going to comment on that," Belichick said. "You saw the game. What did we have, 30 penalties called in that game?"  Actually, 24, including 14 against the Ravens for 135 yards.  Baltimore (2-1) won it...

Blimp View of Ravens/Patriots Streaker

Ravens Slip By Patriots, 31-30: Hero and Zero Of The Game

Coming into this game, the Baltimore Ravens could only think about one thing: getting revenge on the New England Patriots for knocking them out of the playoffs last year.

Thinking Back and Looking Ahead

Tomorrow night at M & T Bank Stadium the Ravens will host the Patriots for Week 3 of this early NFL season.  Most of the “experts” had this labeled as an early AFC Championship rematch, then during Week 2 both teams lost and set up a scenario in which the loser of this highly anticipated Sunday night tilt would drop below .500 and move to 1-2.
