Win a Patriots jersey, Vote for the Road to MetLife Stadium Patriots MVP - Week 16


As the Patriots begin their quest to MetLife Stadium for the Super Bowl, we've decided to chronicle that journey by highlighting the heroes from each game.

Finally, we had a game that didn't go down to the wire. Who would've guessed that it would be against the defending champion Ravens. The Pats dominated this one nearly all game, ending in a lopsided 41-7 score. With so many players playing great, it's hard to choose just one for MVP.

Luckily for us, that decisions falls to you.

All year long, we'll be running a contest to celebrate the Road to MetLife stadium, asking you guys to weigh in on who the MVP of each game is. As a reward, the jersey of the Patriots player to earn the most votes the entire year will be given away to a random person that weighed in on our weekly polls.

Here's how it works.

Each week, you will vote in the poll below for who you think deserves to win MVP for that week's game. Each vote earns you 1 entry into this raffle. That means if you vote every single week, you'll have a total of 16 entries. You can earn additional entries by liking us on facebook, following us on twitter, and tweeting about the contest. Please see below for easy access to doing all of that!

So, now the question remains. Who was the MVP of the game against the Ravens?

Logan Ryan would be my choice. He didn't allowed a single catch in coverage and picked off Joe Flacco two times. Those were some key plays that really helped the Patriots keep momentum and not allow the Ravens to steal back any momentum in the game.

Rob Ninkovich would be another great choice on the defensive side, as he caused havoc for that Ravens' offensive line all game long.

On the offensive side, LeGarrette Blount really lead the way. He averaged over four yards a carry and got in the endzone twice. He was especially key on the team's late drive that really helped put the game out of reach for Baltimore.

Tom Brady always deserved consideration, though this was one of his less than remarkable games. Still, he made the plays when the team needed and kept that offense potent in the first half.

It should be an exciting year as the league journeys towards MetLife Stadium in February. We're looking forward to some victories and more Patriots MVPs! Make sure to vote today!
