I don't get it. Joe Flacco nearly won the game by himself vs the pats. Ray Rice was a non-factor. The defense held the pats to just 20 points until the game clinching fg. Honestly, the pats should have lost that game.
In week 9 the giants also held the pats to just 20 points, except they did it with a defense that was banged and were not coming off 5 strait single elimination victories. On defense the giants are healthy and are playing great. The giants are not a one trick pony like the pats. The giants are balanced.
If flacco can have his way against NE, I'm pretty confident Eli will light them up.
