Football:
All around New England, people were seeing the Patriots down double digits in the 2nd half to one of the NFL's best defenses. I could hear people moaning, saying "it's over", Eric beginning to do a toast, and in some cases, people getting ready for the post mortem show on the Big Jab tomorrow. Then something magical happened. Deion Branch put on a show, the defense looked like the defense from an era gone by, and the Patriots,when the dust settled, came out with a huge 23-20 OT win at home.

Tom E. Curran of CSNNE gives the Patriots defense an A for their second half performance vs. the Ravens, and gives you his Five thoughts on the win. He also explains why this Patriots team isn't the same team from last year.
