" I'm Bob Ryan coming you can judge stadium with a picture than just defeated. The Baltimore Ravens 27 when he wanted exactly the kind of hard nosed football game you would expect it would take to beat the ravens. This was a game frankly I wasn't sure depicted could win -- but the ravens were playing better football than anyone in the AFC and with the favorites in this game the patriots had to come up with a good effort to beat them which they did Tom Brady coming along week by week there -- stretches when he looked like. The Tom Brady now he had Wes -- back today and that certainly adds a great deal to the offense the but they're -- for a second. The ravens had two offensive touchdown. You can live with that the third touchdown with a strip sack Brady recovery -- old. We're defensive touchdown that certainly shocked us at the time. But the deep sense that we worried so much about the defense that has played since the first game without July bail the defense that does not have Richard C what does not have Mike Vrabel to distract you. Reinvent itself at the linebacker position that has a bunch of new defensive backs such as lead but that Shawn Springs but who came up big today that the fence is starting to gel and they certainly have done the job. So the patriots are now we want and have. To answer a big test in -- deftly stealing. Better about themselves one more thing however as good a state where are they needed a little luck to put the game away on the last play. Of scrimmage for the ravens if -- to the fourteen yard line in the patriots 32 seconds to go forth and for. A pass -- Mark Clayton right on the nine of his 89 if he can't decide its first down and almost undoubtedly Flacco gets of Indians all because he had taken -- easily on the twenty. But he did not catch the ball. It's always nice to be lucky better to be lucky than good always best to be lucky. And good the pictures were lucky the end but they were very good to out and that's why they beat the ravens and that's why -- between one today from Gillette Stadium I'm Bob Ryan."

“…nation but we have another cold storm will call it. Snow and cold air coming into the northern plains right now and that is going to dig down into the central plains and eventually affect our weather by the time we get to late Thanksgiving. And Friday as -- also in the meantime. We get rid of the storm system tomorrow and that means we'll still likely have a lot of clouds maybe on the cape in the Allen's the breaks of sunshine to. And we'll have a dry dates miles that is the good news we've got some scattered rain and snow showers up towards the Great Lakes. Both of these storm system's starting to dig down into the Ohio valley. . This -- kind of lose some steam as the one behind it takes over. And that means for Thanksgiving Day we're dry here in the northeast just got lots of clouds around. But eventually this low and deep moisture off to the south -- going to combine an apple bring rain.
