Defense Propels Ravens to AFC Championship Game

It wasn't pretty but we managed to seal the win! Here is what the media had to say about the Ravens showing against the Texans, all I can say is thank goodness for our DEFENSE!


ESPN AFC North Blog:
Rapid Reaction: Ravens 20, Texans 13 - "It was an ugly and unimpressive win by the second-seeded Ravens, especially on offense. But Baltimore stepped up when it needed to do so, converting 17 points off three Texans turnovers. The Ravens improved to 9-0 at home and won a playoff game in Baltimore for the first time in 11 years. This also marked the fourth straight season that Baltimore has won a postseason game."


Quick Take: Ravens at Patriots - Three things that need to happen: "Protect Joe Flacco", "Cover the tight ends", "Get the ball in Ray Rice's hands"


'Ravens' Way' Won't Cut It In New England - "The "Ravens' Way" won't cut it next Sunday in the AFC Championship Game at top-seeded New England. This isn't to say that the Ravens can't win at New England. The Ravens have the talent to beat anyone this season (they're 7-0 against playoff teams). They just have to play much better than they did against the Texans to do so. The fans know it. The media knows it. And, most importantly, the players know it, too."


Ravens' Reed says he'll be 'ready to go' - "Reed said he rolled his ankle while leaping for a Hail Mary pass in the final seconds. He needed to have his arms draped over two trainers to get off the field. "I'll be all right," Reed said after the game. "I'll get treatment and I'll be ready to go." "


Ravens Insider - Aaron Wilson:
Baltimore Ravens' Report Card - "Quarterback - C+, Running back - D+, Receiver - C+, Offensive line -  D, Defensive line - C, Linebacker - C+, Secondary - A, Special Teams - B"
