NFL: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens matchup analysis

This will be the "rematch" of the 2012 AFC Championship game, it will be an interesting matchup between 2 different styles of football, the Ravens lead by the magical Flacco in playoffs will need to do something great once again, in fact Foxboro is a very difficult field to play in especially on playoffs. Their offensive keys to win will be keep their balance all game long  because the Pats defense is good in every department, they can rely on a very good o-line lead by RG Marshall Yanda to be effective on their running game, a running game that will be fondamental for Flacco to use his play action fakes something that he is good to do looking for vertical route the Smith duo, on defense their front 7 must put pressure on Brady counting that he's not an expert o-line because their secondary can't handle the Pats receivers so the work by Suggs and Dumervil on the edges will be the most important thing to do in all game long for them.

The Pats are very well rested, on offense they must attack the weak Ravens' secondary i all the ways possibles, i know it's impossible to win game just with passes but they can use Blount on short yardage situations and Vereen on screens and draws but run the ball for the Pats will be a secondary stuffs. On defense the things are not so easy for them, on regular season i should say let Flacco pass the ball and play committed to the runs but even if i still don't like Flacco he proved he can do some serious damage to the opponents defense and that's i think that they have to focus to some points: Wilfork has to be on his own standards to stop the inside runs and on a 4-3 defense i would allign him on Yanda, Revis 1 on 1 outside against T.Smith and Browner on the other side against S.Smith wit a lil bit of help by McCourthy in case of extended plays and at the edges...Ninkovich and Collins have to be patience and don't go furiously on Flacco to be ready in case of Forsett would run stretch plays something that he is great to do using his quickness and reading skills.
