End Of Perfection

Ask any NFL quarterback which bad weather element is most difficult to throw in, and they'll tell you high wind. It can take even the best quarterback out of a game. Nobody seems to be talking about it, but I believe the weather may be the x-factor that leads to the New England Patriots' first loss of the season.

I'm not sure how the winds swirl in M&T Bank Stadium, but I know they'll be fierce in Baltimore on Monday, and won't die down until very late in the day. If all either the Ravens or Patriots can do is run the ball, and the Ravens can avoid the fumble, then the Ravens have a great chance of winning.

[UPDATE] IF YOU WATCHED THE GAME, YOU KNOW THE RAVENS ESSENTIALLY BLEW IT. THE PATRIOTS' PASSING GAME WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. A LATE-GAME MELTDOWN BY THE RAVENS KEPT THE WIN STREAK ALIVE.
