6. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens established themselves as a Super Bowl dark horse despite entering the playoffs as a No. 6 seed after finishing third in the AFC North. Their defense shut down the Pittsburgh Steelers offense with just 17 points. Quarterback Joe Flacco also reminded fans that he is one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the playoffs as he now has a 10-4 record after posting a 114 rating against the Steelers.
He has a 106 rating in the Ravens’ last nine playoff games with 20 touchdown passes and two interceptions. The Ravens have an extremely tough matchup against the New England Patriots next though, and the Patriots will undoubtedly be seeking revenge for upsetting them in the 2013 AFC Championship. However, the Ravens have a fierce pass rush with outside linebackers Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs hungry for an opportunity to overwhelm Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
