The Ravens win took a lot of the stink off of this team that was woefully inconsistent on the road this year. Think about the games at the Jets, at the Panthers, at Texans, and at the Bengals. They were inept in large portions of all four of those games.
Still, I think this Patriots team has evolved to a point where they’re turning in close to 60 minute games every weekend. Really the last five games they’ve been pretty consistent. They’ll sputter on a drive or two every game, but bounce back on both sides of the ball.
Still, playing in Denver in the AFC Championship will be a challenge for a variety of reasons, but I have confidence the Pats will bring one of their best games.
