Patriots Exhale in the Locker Room After Defeating the Ravens

I couldn't sleep yesterday. I just couldn't. We just witnessed one of the greatest playoff games in Tom Brady's career, and one of the best games of all time. The Patriots set history after fighting back from not one, but two 14 point deficits. This is a team of fighters and I couldn't be happier to support any other team.

The Patriots posted the scene in the locker room after the game and it's clear that every single player appreciates the accomplishment on the field, and that they can overcome anything that comes their way. The rust was evident in the first quarter, and hopefully they won't have another slow start for the rest of the year.

A picture is all it takes to reflect the relief from the players.
