Buddy Ryan in house
Longtime NFL coach Buddy Ryan, the father of Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, is present tonight and is currently on the field.
If the Ravens are to pull the upset, their defense will have to come up big and Rex Ryan talked about the challenge -- and his father -- in the Sunday Boston Globe football notes.
One area we'll be looking for is the Ravens blitzing over the right side of the Patriots' offensive line. The Ravens like to bring the pressure and the expectation is that they want to test right tackle Nick Kaczur. If that happens, we'll be watching closely at how much help Kaczur gets from tight end Kyle Brady and the team's running backs.
