The Baltimore Ravens found a new, more devastating way to lose this time around, falling to the New England Patriots with a Super Bowl berth on the line, 23-20.
After last year’s debacle, the Ravens managed to drop the game-winning touchdown pass and then absolutely shank the game-tying field goal that could have sent the game into overtime.
Lee Evans nearly had his second foot down in the end zone when he was stripped of the ball, and Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal by shanking it way left.
Despite a slow start in the first quarter, Joe Flacco played a tremendous game to silence his critics, throwing for 306 yards and a couple of touchdowns. ( Read More…)

It wasn’t pretty, but the Baltimore Ravens used a strong defensive effort in the second half to hold off the pesky Houston Texans, 20-13.
The Ravens used four turnovers to their advantage, building a 17-3 lead in the early going and looking like they might turn the game into a blowout.
Instead, Houston responded by pounding away with running back Arian Foster, who had a monster second quarter to finish with well over 100 yards rushing.
With a 17-13 lead heading into halftime, the Ravens defense regrouped and came out of the locker room intent on shutting down the Houston running game.
The Ravens did a much better job on Foster in the final 30 minutes, and will now head to New England with a chance to play in the Super Bowl on the line.

The Baltimore Ravens got off to a quick start and then held on for a 24-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and their second AFC North title.
It was a good thing that the Ravens were able to pull out the victory, as the Steelers held on to get a win over the rival Cleveland Browns.
Ray Rice had two touchdown runs of 50 yards or more, finishing the day with 191 yards on the ground.
Joe Flacco was 15-19 through the air for one touchdown. The key statistics for Flacco included just one sack and no fumbles or interceptions.
The victory gives the Ravens a bye and at least one home playoff game, so they now get two full weeks of rest to get healthy before taking the field again.
