The Enterprise and The Patriot Ledger got a jump on the Sunday NFL playoff games with the centerpiece 6 reasons the Patriots will defeat the Ravens.
Both papers are located a stone's throw from Foxboro, the Pats' home turf, so this content is a no-brainer for reader attention.
The content, written by Enterprise staffer Glen Farley, is a print-only piece, so I can't provde a link to the story at this time. Here's an excerpt from Reasons the Patriots will defeat the Ravens:
2. Joe Flacco is quarterbacking the Ravens: Peruse the league passer ratings and you’ll find that Joe Flacco was ranked 13th in touchdown passes, 15th in interception percentage, 18th in quarterback rating, 24th in average gain and 26th in completion percentage. Four years after the Ravens drafted him in the first round, Flacco defines mediocrity.
Good stuff.
There's not caption to the photo, but local fans know this is Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The photo also is missing a credit.
Below the light blue package is a bright yellow-and-red box telling readers when the game stars and the channel of the local CBS affiliate airing the game.
Nice all around.
