With light snowfall hitting the Boston area Tuesday, the New England Patriots tweeted about the tough conditions as the team practiced for Saturday's home playoff matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

So naturally the Ravens took to Twitter to boast about their heavier snowfall, posting a Vine of their own snow-covered practice field and trolling the Patriots with "Our snow beats your snow."

It's not the most outrageous thing the Ravens have said this week. Coach John Harbaugh called Joe Flacco "the best quarterback in the NFL."

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, meanwhile, refused to say Tom Brady's name during Tuesday's media session. He and the New England Patriots quarterback have had a long history of entertaining trash talk.

But Brady struck a different tune during his media session Tuesday, calling Suggs “phenomenal” and a “smart player.”

As you might expect, Suggs was a little confused when he caught wind of Brady’s comments.

“Say what?” Suggs said when told that Brady had complimented him. “Did they record him? I’d love to see his face (when he said it).”

After all, the All-Pro linebacker is the same guy who questioned Brady’s Super Bowl rings after the 2010 season and even dissed Brady’s hairstyle during the 2013 campaign. Brady hasn’t been shy about returning the favor, but it seems he’s turning the page.

The Ravens, however, who vanquished the hated Pittsburgh Steelers last week, really seem to still be in rivalry mode.
