That was just the last bit of divine intervention. Brady had been stopped on a quarterback sneak on fourth down that was negated because the Ravens called time out before the play started, a fact that none of the players appeared aware of at the time. The next fourth down stoppage was negated by a late false start call. Then there was a questionable pass interference call down the middle. Then the fingertip TD in the corner of the end zone. Had the Patriots lost that game, it might have braced them for what lay ahead, and the Ravens would not have gone on to lose to the Dolphins.
