Instead of my favorite New England sports living bar, a booth, dozens of televisions and knowledgeable fans, I watched today’s AFC Championship game in a house, on a sofa, one television and with non-fans. No matter the venue and the lack of other New Englanders, I am exceedingly happy that the New England Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 23 to 20 to become the AFC Champions. This is a definite contrast to the last time these two teams met in the playoffs.
The Patriots took an early lead and kept it during this back-and-forth scoring game until the third quarter. That’s when the Ravens were able to garner a four point lead by the end of the quarter. However, as in the first quarter, all the scoring in the fourth quarter was done by New England. And thanks to a Ravens missed thirty-two yard field goal with eleven seconds left in the fourth quarter, the game does not go into overtime – New England Patriots are the AFC Champions!!
This wasn’t the most exciting football game I’ve watched – just a couple of touchdowns, interceptions, long passes, no long runs - but the outcome is what matters. So, on Sunday 5 February 2012, the New England Patriots will play the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Good Luck Pats!
