Pats led 3-0, 10-3, 13-10 and finally 23-20. Even if Cundiff makes that it goes to OT.
The Ravens were inept and played from behind almost the entire game.
Pats weren't great but the Ravens were far far worse. How is that luck?

Flacco outplayed Brady. The Ravens ran the ball extremely well and easy in that 2nd half. The only place the Pats really outplayed the Ravens was their d-line vs the Ravens o-line. Ravens had more total yards, passing yards and rushing yards. Ravens mistakes were glaring, penalties, drops, missed plays on both Webb deep balls, the check down that was an automatic TD for the Ravens had Flacco made the throw, some of the Ravens play calling. The Ravens left a ton of points on the field today.
I'm not going to say the Patriots got lucky but they got outplayed. You don't back your way into a Superbowl win, they played good enough to win but the Ravens did outplay them and I thought deserved to win.
