After leaving the Ravens news conference Tuesday afternoon, major concerns still remain about the team's poor secondary.

The suddenness of it all was probably the hardest thing to accept for the Ravens, who spent Sunday emptying the contents of their lockers into large trash bags, saying their goodbyes to teammates and grudgingly embracing a long offseason and, in some cases, an uncertain future.

The New England Patriots didn't even try to run the ball on the Baltimore Ravens; they just kept passing against a patchwork secondary.
