On Friday I wrote a post on how Brady can beat the Ravens by exploiting their only weakness on defense (here is the link to my post). The Ravens were in the top 3 or better in most defensive categries according to PFF except pass rush. Therefore I predicted that if the Pats O-line could hold off the Ravens pass rush then perhaps Brady could win the game.
Well the O-line did do its job allowing only 3 sacks, 2 QB hits and 3 QB pressures all game and Brady was able to spread the ball around quite effectively. In fact Brady numbers on paper are not super : 42 Att, 27 Comp, 292 yds, 1 TD, 2 INTs, QB rating 72.7. But he wasn't helped by 7 dropped paases either. But the bottom line is that he got plenty of protection and managed to get the Patriots in position to win the game in OT.
