There was a conspicuous lack of bulletin board material this week between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens, until Saturday that is.
John Harbaugh told the Ravens that “the Patriots don’t understand what kind of game they’re about to get into,” NFL Media’s Aditi Kinkhabwala tweeted Saturday afternoon. Apparently the Ravens head coach doesn’t think the Patriots are prepared for a physical game.
That seems odd, since these teams have played one another nearly every season. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady compared this divisional-round playoff game to an in-division matchup.
There’s no doubt that Patriots players have been informed of Harbaugh’s statement by this point, and they’re likely in the locker room preparing accordingly.
