Anyone watching the AFC Championship games this weekend was reminded of one key thing after watching the Baltimore Ravens go down on Sunday.
Being able to handle pressure in big moments will be the biggest question facing Jerod Mayo in the coming years, as will whoever ultimately ends up under center here in New England.
The Baltimore Ravens ended up being a perfect example of what not to do. They had been a juggernaut during the regular season and heading into the playoffs, but on Sunday, they were exposed yet again for what they are.
They’re a team with an arrogant head coach who can’t handle it when it counts the most, along with a quarterback with all the athletic gifts in the world, but he’s clearly the most situationally unaware player in football.
