The Ravens haven’t really slowed Tom Brady. They certainly haven’t done enough offensively to make anyone believe they can pull a road upset.
The Patriots lead at halftime, 16-3, and it was on the verge of being worse before Eric Weddle intercepted Brady in the end zone with a little over five minutes left in the second quarter. Brady was hit on the throw, and the ball popped in the air and into the hands of Weddle.
A 50-yard field goal by Justin Tucker with 11 seconds left in the first half got the Ravens on the board.
The Patriots have scored on a 1-yard run by LeGarrette Blount and a 6-yard Brady pass to Malcolm Mitchell. Brady threw for 230 yards in the first half.
Just before Blount’s touchdown, Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith went down with an ankle injury. He’s not expected to return, and he’s clearly missed.
The Ravens started the game with Malcolm Brown dropping Kenneth Dixon for a safety, then two series later Shea McClellin jumped over the long snapper to block a Tucker field goal.
