Anyone who doesn't respect the Ravens in the playoffs is being arrogantly delusional at this point.
Ravens @ Foxboro in Playoffs
2009 W 33-14 (9-7)
2011 L 23-20 (12-4)
2012 W 28-13 (10-6)
2014 L 35-31 (10-6)
They've either beaten us handily or barely lost in the four meetings in a span of 6 years.
I'm assuming it's mostly the same people who arrogantly thought we would go into Denver in 2015 and beat them no problem. People will mention "No but THIS Ravens team is different, they [insert flaw]", as if any Ravens team we've played hasn't been flawed in some sense, as they usually are around 9/10 wins.
Of course I would favor the Pats and expect them to win, but the Ravens more than any team in the AFC have proven they have the ability to come here and either win or make it incredibly close. Their mediocre 10-6 2014 team had two 14 point leads against our 2014 Super Bowl team. It's fair to say that the 2017 Patriots and the 2017 Ravens are about the same gap as the 2014 teams.
well, yeah......but it's 2017
