This game has done nothing to convince me we should want Baltimore over the Chargers in Foxboro. When the Pats lose in the playoffs, it's usually because Brady and the offense gets shut down (it's why the Ravens have come into Foxboro and given us 2 of the 3 losses we have since 2000 in the playoffs). The Ravens defense has been put in one bad spot after another today, and they've kept them in the game. They are really, really good.
I'm so much less worried about our defense against these two teams. If we play the Ravens, BB will do what San Diego is doing and stack the box and force them to win by throwing. If we play the Chargers, we'll see the same defense we've seen against Minnesota, Green Bay, Pittsburgh this season, where we dare the other team to run the ball, and not give them anything through the air. I think the Pats defense will be fine next week.
Bosa and Ingram don't worry me. When is the last time an edge rusher gave us problems? BB schemes for that, he'll bring a tight end in to double, he'll chip them with the running back, etc. It's the teams that can get a rush up the middle that gives Brady fits.
