At the cost of two players, the New England Patriots still failed to win Sunday’s wild-card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens 14-33, their first loss to the Ravens. It was also the Patriots second straight playoff games since the 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants two years ago.
Cornerback Shawn Springs was the first player to be lost during the game. A head injury caused him to leave the field as early as in the first half and may keep him away from playing football for quite a long time. Putting on Patriots jersey as a free agent this season, Springs started eight of the 12 games he played with the team. A knee injury kept him out for four games in the middle of the season.
The other guy was wide receiver Sam Aiken, who left in the fourth quarter after a hard hit on an incompletion and did not return. The head injury did not seem like a serious one as he was able to walk off the field on his own. But it was scary as he was lying on the ground for several minutes before getting up.
