The New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens meet in the AFC Championship game at 6:30 p.m. ET. If you can't watch the ballgame, check out this live blog with play-by-play and scoring updates.

This game might be better than the action Super Bowl. They met in 2012, last January in an intense AFC Championship game that should have gone the Ravens' way. The game should have at least gone to overtime, but that wasn't the case.

The Ravens are playing emotional football as they would love to send away their leader, Ray Lewis, with another Super Bowl ring.

The Ravens battled to beat the Indianapolis Colts and then Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

They already beat the Patriots in the regular season in a game tainted by the replacement referees that ended in controversy as the field goal made to win the game was a bit questionable.

Bill Belichick ran out to the field and made contact with a referee that was jetting from the football field immediately following the conclusion of the game.

Tom Brady is again doing it quietly as the Patriots have the best offense in the NFL. The Ravens have been known for their defense for years and they have to flex their guns if they plan on stopping Brady's cannon.

The Patriots running game came alive last week against the Houston Texans, which opened up passing lanes for Brady. His unique hurry-up offense attack was almost unstoppable and the Ravens will have their hands full.

This game will immediately follow the NFC Championship game between the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers.
