The Ravens have beaten every team in the AFC playoffs (or playoff picture) except for the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins, who they didn’t face. Baltimore scored big wins over Buffalo, Pittsburgh, the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston, Denver, and Tampa Bay.
“It was a tough schedule, and we played teams when they were at their best quite often, and they were on a roll when we played them,” Harbaugh said. “I thought our guys handled that. You get forged; you get tough. And when you come from iron, then you become iron, and I think our guys have done that. Let’s see where it takes us.”
The Ravens last won AFC North titles in 2018 and 2019 (no team has ever won it three straight years). Baltimore fell short in the playoffs both of those seasons, however.
“The AFC North, I think, is the toughest division, and to come out champs, it’s awesome, and we’re grateful to celebrate that tonight,” said outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who won two Super Bowls with the Patriots. “But we have bigger and better things to worry about, which is the Wild Card Weekend.”
