The Ravens Didn't Get True Revenge, but That's Fine and More AFC North News

Bob Blubaugh of the Carroll County Times says that the Baltimore Ravens' 31-10 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night cannot possibly avenge the loss in the AFC Championship Game, but it certainly carries great meaning.

That it at least came down to a field goal, just as in their last meaning, is certainly ironic. The game was very similar to January's meeting, but Blubaugh says there's no trophies for winning in September, and he's right. This was a very different game than one that could lead to a Super Bowl appearance, and there's nothing wrong with that.
