All I can say is, “wow.” Joe Flacco did his part. He deserves a lot of credit, despite the Ravens loss to the New England Patriots. Flacco threw the game winning touchdown to Lee Evans who had the ball promptly ripped out of his grasp on a play he’ll likely have nightmares about for weeks […]

Last week, the Patriots showed the rest of the league why they’re still a threat to take home the Lombardi Trophy.
