Baltimore's defense will certainly be a test for the high-powered New England offense, but the defense's limited passing yards against is also a reflection of the lack of good quarterbacks the Ravens have faced throughout this season. The Ravens didn't face Tom Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford or Matt Ryan. They did, however, face Andy Dalton twice, Seneca Wallace, Dan Orlovsky, Matt Hasselbeck, Blaine Gabbert, Tavaris Jackson and Kevin Kolb.
They also played Matt Schaub, Phil Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger (twice). In fact, the calibre of QBs faced by both teams is relatively similar. You can just replace the ones mentioned above with Vince Young, Mark Sanchez (x2), Ryan Fitzpatrick (x2), Chad Henne, Matt Moore, Tyler Palko, Curtis Painter, Rex Grossman, and Tim Tebow (x2). The difference is that the Pats still got lit up.
