Three Things That Need To Go Right

Ravens Weekend

October 02, 2009

1 Pressure Tom Brady. The New York Jets came up with the blueprint to stopping the Patriots quarterback when they collapsed the pocket and made Brady move laterally. The Ravens' inconsistent pass rush has to step up to the test.

2 Keep playing stingy red-zone defense. The Ravens are tied atop the NFL with the best defense inside the 20, holding teams to two touchdowns in eight red-zone possessions. Last Sunday, Brady was 3-for-10 in the red zone for 10 yards and no touchdowns.

3 Steve Hauschka handles the pressure (and wind). This has the makings of the Ravens' closest game so far. Hauschka, who is 4-for-5 this season, hasn't had to make a clutch kick in the fourth quarter or deal with an unpredictable wind current on the road.
