- We will be liveblogging the NFL Conference championships on Sunday - come back at game time for chat and info.
- Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of the NFL playoff games - starting off shortly with the Baltimore Ravens at the New England Patriots...
- Woohoo cannot wait for this match..Pats to make the 46th Superbowl!!
- It's kicked off. Ravens have the ball on their 20
- Flacco's pass is off the mark
- Ravens forced to punt
- Pats waste their three downs too. Low key start
- Romanian-Hungarian Zoltan Mesko punting there for the Patriots. Arrived in the U.S as a kid. via the greencard lottery.
- Some injury problem with Flacco? His back-up was in the huddle initially there before Flacco took his spot.
- Our defense is too much for Flacco. Go Pats!
- Nice catch by Edelman there
- INTERCEPTION BY POLLARD for RAVENS
- Illegal contact ruling so that Interception is over-ruled.
- Still scoreless here with 7:42 left in the first
- Big miss there from Brady - couldn't find Gronkowski on what would have been a TD pass.
- Most people assuming Pats would walk this, but people said that about the Packers last week
- If you wondering where Ochocinco is - the New England wide receiver traveled to Florida Saturday for his father’s funeral and is on the inactives list
- 3-0 Patriots with a 29 yard Field Goal.
- 13 play drive from the Pats there.
- Gostkowski with the kick to give the Patriots a 3-0 lead in the AFC Conference championship game.
- Brady needs a running game. Lewis is blitzing.
- On the scoreboard..though that Ravens defense is gonna be hard to break.
- Flacco sacked again
- Hey John you reckon Brady's running game will be on tonight?
- three three-and-outs for Ravens
- Lardarious Webb with a great interception there for Ravens
- Big throw from Flacco gives Ravens big yards
- 42 yard gain there with a great pass from Flacco, moving out of the pocket and finding his receiver.
- badly underthrown, unfortunately. was wide open all the way and could have been a touchdown !

- If Ravens gonna compete, looks like will have to lean on air-game. Patriots loaded up to stop the run.
- Ravens set for first big score here
- End of first quarter - Patriots 3-0 up but Ravens are inside the ten.
- short of first down, it's 4th and ! inside the 10. Field goal team out. A fake?
- Field goal. 3-3
- Ravens homing in here..go Baltimore!
- Field goal for the Ravens ties it up at 3-3.
- Many would have tried for touchdown there on 4th down. Conservative from Ravens but only first half. I would probably have gone for broke...
- @Hamish Just enough to keep the Ravens defense honest.
- think that since Ravens were scoreless, they decided it best to get on the scoreboard. later on in this game, reckon they'll GO for it
- Neither team have really been able to impose themselves yet on this game offensively.
- 3 runs. Glad they listened to me ;)
- Brady top throw down the middle. 1st and 10 on 21. Offensive tight ends really are in vogue this year. Could be key.
- Clear face mask there.
- Helmet off! Personal foul. 1st and goal for Pats
