Ravens-Patriots preview: Can Baltimore get to Tom Brady?

The NFL divisional round kicks off with the most intriguing game of the weekend when the Baltimore Ravens travel up to New England to take on the Patriots.

There is history between these two teams, but the key players in those memorable games have moved on. Tom Brady, Joe Flacco and Terrell Suggs are still around but a number of impact players on both sides will be relatively new to the rivalry.

One storyline that could actually have an impact on the game is the weather. The current forecast calls for a high of 21 degrees on Saturday. Tossing around a frozen ball obviously makes things more difficult on quarterbacks, so this game could be decided by which passer handles the sub-freezing temperatures more effectively.
