Pats ride Ravens to Super bowl XLVI

On January 22nd 2012, the Patriots beat the Ravens 23-20! In the epic AFC championship, the game was ended when Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff MISSED a 32 yard, game tying field goal with 11 seconds left. The lead was taken when QB Tom Brady had a 1 yard leap into the end zone. The Ravens two attempts on their last drive to win were both broken up by Sterling Moore. The first was a sure touchdown to Lee Evans which was stripped out of his hands by Moore and the second Moore tipped away. Another great performance came from Rob Gronkowski who lead the Pats in yards as well as having great catches and yards after the catch. He had an ankle injury for a bit of the game but returned to the game to make the game winning block. BenJarvus Green-Ellis had a big running game of 68 yards including a 7 yard TD run. Brandon Spikes stepped up to get an interception to stop the game winning pass as well as Vince Wilfork having a couple of big run stops and a couple sacks! James Ihedibo had a sack to stop Ravens QB Joe Flacco from throwing a deep pass to make a big play. Devin McCourty was beaten by Ravens WR Torrey Smith a couple of times and Smith also ended up with a TD but the Patriots were lucky he didn't get more. The Patriots did a good job making sure Anquan Boldin (thank god he wasn't covered by Antwaun Molden) and Ray Rice didn't get big games in the match. Rice was contained by Wilfork and defensive end Sean Ellis. The Patriots will need to play better to beat the New York Giants, but I think they will win. GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!
