Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens had their chance to go down the field with almost 2 minutes left and 2 timeouts. New England had the lead 23-20. Flacco would hit a couple of his receivers to start the drive and they were able to get out of bounds to stop the clock. Then when it looked as though the Ravens were going to be stopped,Flacco found his man down field to move Baltimore into field goal range. Flacco would take a shot into the end-zone and his receiver dropped what would have been a game winning catch.
On fourth down Baltimore would send their field goal kicker out on the field to tie the game at 23 and send the game into overtime. The only problem was Billy Condiff hooked the kick wide left and missed the Field goal. Just like that the Baltimore Ravens chance of going to the super Bowl vanished. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will make their way to the Super Bowl.
Brady was a little off all day and Baltimore just couldn’t take advantage of it. Even an off...

Flacco earns respect in playoff loss he didn’t deserve in previous wins
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has faced the New England Patriots twice in the postseason. His team has won one of those games, and lost the other.

Steven Tyler Botched National Anthem At AFC Championship Game
Do you know who you shouldn’t pick to sing the National Anthem? Steven Tyler in a terrible Patriots sequin shirt. I’m surprised the Foxboro crowd didn’t boo him out of the stadium.

It's the Pats' turn to hold
