Patriots vs. Ravens: Aqib Talib a Key Difference for New England in Rematch

Good read from Frenz, and one of the most interesting new dynamics of this game is the Patriots confidence playing man-to-man defense. The Ravens have plenty of weapons and how the Patriots choose to match up will be one of the areas I’m most curious to watch.

The biggest problem I see is that they can deal with the wide receivers, and even Mayo on Ray Rice is okay, but the trickle down effect means Spikes, Hightower and Wilson will be left to deal with the Ravens tight ends. That could be the area Joe Flacco most tries to exploit.
