The Patriots, of course, lost to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. Quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick will be seeking their sixth trip to the Super Bowl, three victories followed by a pair of losses to the Giants. The Patriots advanced to the title game with a 41-28 win over the Houston Texans last weekend in the Divisional round.

The Ravens will be trying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since stomping the Giants in 2001, 34-7. Baltimore defeated Denver, 38-35, in two overtimes in last week's Divisional round.

"I think the two best teams are in the finals," says Brady. "Baltimore certainly deserves to be here and so do we, so it's very fitting. We played them early in the year. They got us. We're going to have to play our best game this week."
