So Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo was running his mouth again. Not really trash talk this time, but he kind of gave some insight into the Ravens game plan. It sure is a strange one.
They are going to apparently focus on stopping the run first, and they want the ball to be in Tom Brady's hands. Ok then...

"The run game was shut down and the pass game, they were getting after him," linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo told Comcast SportsNet Baltimore. "They were hitting him. When you hit him you make him uncomfortable and he becomes like the rest of the quarterbacks - just another quarterback.

With the Ravens hanging on to an 8 point lead the very first play of the 4th quarter was one of the key plays in the game.
