Baltimore was probably the better team - but they turned the ball over twice in critical spots ... though NE did give up a strip sack for a defensive BALT TD at a point in the game where NE looked like they'd win easily.
It was very close. Baltimore said they were going to take Moss out of the game .. and they did. But Brady played a smart game and didn't even look to Moss and picked Balt apart with mismatches underneath .. they just couldn't run the ball well on Balt.
And when you can't run the ball consistantly - and don't look at Moss - you have to do all of your dinking and dunking without costly penalties or turnovers that stop drives. And it was Baltimore, for the most part, who had more of the costly penalties and key turnovers.
Baltimore did send an overload blitz at Brady on a key 3rd down .. and he basically got rid of it as fast as possible by lobbing up a quick no look duck for Moss to go get for the game winning TD.
