In a postseason defined by defense, the Ravens struck an ominous pose yesterday. Super Bowl contender. Maybe even the team to beat.
Defense wins championships.
We went down in history this year when we broke two records for defense. The Ravens are the only visiting team to win in Adelphia in the Titans' two seasons there. There's a great deal of respect between these two teams, and I think they knew we were going back there, and we knew we were going to be back there. It's going to be a hell of a game. Discredited for playing a soft schedule in a soft division, the Ravens systematically destroyed one of the NFL's best offenses.
