New England was able to knock off the Ravens by a final score of 35-31, and were able to make a massive comeback in order to get the job done. Brady and the Patriots are playing extremely good football since early on in the season, and they are going to need to take the Colts seriously. Indianapolis was able to walk into Denver and embarrass the Broncos 24-13, and are looking to shock the NFL again.
That being said, Brady had something to say about the Ravens and accused them of poking him in the eye.
“No, it was when I was arguing with that guy and then he poked me in the eye, and I was trying to yell at the ref. I said, ‘He just poked me in the eye!’ He obviously didn’t see it,” Brady said. “It’s a good move, the eye gouge. You can’t even do that in professional wrestling.”

This type of thing happens quite often in the NFL, but it isn’t every day that a star quarterback comes out and talks about it. Baltimore should have knocked the Patriots out of the playoffs last week, but they saw Brady take over and close them out instead.
Brady got his revenge on them by winning the football game, but he didn’t want them to get away with the eye poke.
Sunday’s game between the Colts and Patriots should be a good one, and it is a major rivalry that has gone on since Peyton Manning and Brady going at it. Andrew Luck is now the quarterback in Indianapolis, but things haven’t changed between these two teams. New England is favored to win, but it isn’t going to be an easy game by any stretch of the imagination.
