BALTIMORE – The Baltimore Ravens couldn’t be beaten at home this season, an accomplishment that earned them a trip to a place that’s has long been torturous for visiting teams.
Baltimore secured a berth in the AFC championship game by defeating the Houston Texans 20-13 on Sunday. The Ravens’ first home playoff win since 2000 gave them a 9-0 record at MT Bank Stadium this season.
Now they’re heading to Foxborough, Mass., for a Sunday matchup with the top-seeded New England Patriots, who improved to 8-1 at home with a 45-10 rout of the Denver Broncos on Saturday night.
Baltimore is 1-6 all-time against New England, but that one win was a 33-14 rout in the 2009 playoffs.
“We’ve gone out there and played before,” said Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw two touchdown passes against Houston. “We have won in New England. They are one of the teams, like us, that’s tough to beat at home. We know how tough it is to go into a place like that, a place like here, and win a football game. So we’re going to have to make sure we prepare well all week and bring our A-game up there.”
