The Pats held off the Ravens in a wonderfully watchable game, 35 – 31. They now await the winner of tomorrow’s Colts – Broncos game.

This one wasn’t decided until there was only 1:39 left in the game, when Flacco was intercepted in the end zone by Duron Harmon. After three kneeldowns the Pats punted, the receiver made a dumb mistake and ran for the sidelines rather than calling for a fair catch, and then Flacco heaved a Hail Mary pass into the end zone from about 60 yards away. It was batted back into the field of play and fell harmlessly to the ground.

The second game has the Panthers facing the Seahawks. It’s underway, and with 9:02 left in the first quarter there’s no score.
