Patriots Must Tame Lions Passing Game to Prevail Sunday [PHOTOS]

After last Sunday night's impressive win over the Indianapolis Colts, the New England Patriots road to the Super Bowl now heads back to Gillette Stadium with a Sunday afternoon game against the Detroit Lions.

It will be the fourth week in a row the Patriots have had to contend with one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks in Lions' signal caller Matthew Stafford and another elite receiver in Calvin Johnson. Look for the Patriots elite cornerback Darrelle Revis to make Johnson spend as much time on Revis Island as possible while the Patriots improving front line defense pressures Stafford.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Lions do have an effective pass rush and their best chance to steal a win from the Patriots will be if they can get to Brady. Look for a tough, physical game on Sunday where the team that plays the better defense comes away with the win in Week 12.

Kick off is at 1 p.m. Follow the Blimp 102.9 for all of the pre-game and game action.
