On Sunday night the Ravens prevailed to beat the Patriots 28-13 in the AFC Championship after being down 13-7 at half. Tom Brady only had 1 touchdown, but he had 2 interceptions one coming late in the 4th quarter after a tipped ball, an injured Ravens defender caught the ball. On the other side Joe Flacco had 3 TDs and 0 pics. Anquan Boldin came up big in the 4th with 2 TD catches. The Patriots would have been in a completely different position if Wes Welker hadn't dropped a couple big passes. All in all the Ravens just outplayed the Patriots on Sunday evening.On Sunday Afternoon the 49ers ended up on top of the Falcons 28-24. Once again the losing team was up at halftime (24-14) but they didn't score any points in the second half. Kaepernick only had about 20 yards rushing and 1 passing TD but Frank Gore had 2 TDs and just under 100 yards on the ground. Matt Ryan played well with 3 TDs and 1 INT, and 396 yards but his team did not provide any rushing at all. The two leading runners for the Falcons combined for 62 yards. In the NFC Championship the Falcons just got flat out, outplayed in the second half.
This Super Bowl will be a great game considering that two brothers will be coaching against one another. These two teams faced off on Thanksgiving 2011 and the Ravens won without Ray Lewis, but the got an outstanding performance out of Terrel Suggs. We will have to see if Kaepernick will be able to perform on football's biggest stage.
