If Belichick does face him again, that game could very well be in Baltimore.

On the hits on the QB, even if Jackson releases the ball quickly, Refs are going to allow defenses an extra step or two to hit him. The unfair practice seems to be commonplace with duo-threat QBs in the NFL and it sucks because they get injured like Newton has.
