But I think even a casual observer would say the Ravens outplayed the Patriots.

Yup I agree. The Ravens were terrible on 3rd down. I've seen the Pats give up 10000000 yards all year. Nice to see them get pressure and make stops on 3rd down.

And yes the plays calls and missed pass by Flacco are dumb plays but not caused by the Pats doing anything.
When the Pats beat the Broncos they won because they played better than the Broncos and made a ton of plays. When the Pats won today it was because the Ravens played poorly not because the Pats stopped them or made plays.

Huh. The Pats stopped them plenty of times. Qb pressure and sacks.
Teams are not going to play well every game. There are games both teams play well there are games both teams played poorly. Just have to grind it out sometimes. You can say the Ravens dominated all you want but as a Pats fan the game was pretty comfortable. Again the Ravens only led once. Only during the period of the KO return fumble and the Ravens possibly going up by 8 was there worry. But once the Pats D limited the Ravens to 3 and then immediately regained the lead, it was fine.
