Patriots-Ravens has risen into prime NFL rivalry

FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots have a long rivalry with the Jets, a dislike of the organization that stems more from off-field events than on-field results.

When Peyton Manning was in Indianapolis, New England had a rivalry with the Colts, Manning and Tom Brady, the best quarterbacks of their generation, outdueling each other.

Fierce??? They are savages! We would be seeing a first rate game with classy players if Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos would be coming to Gillette.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL GAME. It would have lacked the ugliness, clawing and shenanigans of the Ravens!!!!!
