john harbaugh says he doesn't think his parents have decided what they will do. they might stay home and watch both games from neutral territory. harbaugh has clearly are removed forward with his staff, preparing for the patriots in sunday's championship game. it for years ago, just getting to the game for exceeded anyone's expectations. this time around, winning the championship would not leave john harbaugh feeling fully content. >> it is not the ultimate goal. you are not going to win something like that and just dop and say that is enough. we are going to be proud of that trophy. we are proud of every accomplishment and humbled by every defeat. the new look ahead. really, that is the answer. that is what we will do. leading up to this week's championship game, harbaugh are referred to bill belichick as the best coach in the game today. he spoke of his respect for the three-time super bowl winner. tom brady called the ravens hit the best team in new england has faced this season. when the ravens be new england in the playoff to years ago, the patriots did not h

harbaugh a little later in the show. >> in a bizarre twist of fate, a field goal will keep both john harbaugh and jim harbaugh out of this year's super bowl. as we continue with "ravens wrap-up," we'll talk with ravens quarterback joe flacco and get his thoughts after an elite performance. but before the break, a look at the play of the game. third quarter, ravens rookie receiver torrey smith, a 28-yard catch and run down the sideline. it's our miller light play of the game. today my journey continues across the golden state, where everyone has been unbelievably nice. mornin'. i guess i'm helping them save hundreds on car insurance. it probably also doesn't hurt that i'm a world-famous advertising icon. cheers! i mean, who wouldn't want a piece of that? geico. ah... fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent oh dear... or more on car insurance.

john harbaugh says he does not know how much they will benefit from that, but winning in foxborough is better than losing in foxboro. they have never beat the patriots in the regular season, but are 1-0 in the postseason. they will not have home field advantage in foxboro, but jerry johnson said if you have to play on the road, new england is not a bad place to play. in fact, he said he enjoys it. >> things are always cold, ravi, and they have that cool bridge. i do not know what it is. -- things are always cold. things are always robby. -- rowdy. they have that cool bridge. i do not know what is. >> he brings up an interesting point. they do have a bridge at the stadium in foxboro. none of us are sure what it all means. for now, reagan's fans are all about the business of getting ready for that game. -- raven's fans are all about the business of getting ready for that game. >> i have got my ray rice jersey right now, which apparently is the hottest item. we are at modell's and they will be open through the superbowl to get you what you want. merchandise is king right now, and if the r

. >> it started with john harbaugh, would have been a great nfl story line if his team could have faced his brother's in the super bowl. joe flacco looking good, throws the touchdown to denis pitta, ties the game up. the ravens came right back and scored that touchdown and torrey smith, you can't say enough rookie.is he didn't play like a rookie. he played fabulous. ravens took the lead 17-16 on that. fourth quarter, tom brady will do his thing on a fourth-down play, he dives in for the touchdown and new england has the lead but it comes down to the last drive. this is what we wanted to see from joe flacco and joe got him into range and lee evans could a hero that we talked about forever but perhaps now it's going to be in a negative way because he drops what would have been a touchdown and billy cundiff who has come through for the ravens many times. this is a 32-yard field goal that would have sent it into overtime and the final 23-20 in favor of new england. you feel for that guy, ed reed. and if you're looking for some comfort and i'm grasping here. >> we're all looking for that. >>

. >>> the eyes of the sports world are on ravens head coach john harbaugh. one game stands between the ravens and the super bowl. harbaugh jokes he hasn't slept in a week. he shares a little insight with us. >> in my extended chat with the coach he spoke repeatedly of his desire to deliver a super bowl trophy to baltimore. he is in touch with the fans and feels in his heart a championship is something this area truly needs. the full roster participated in thursday's practice. no injury issues for the ravens. all effort and concentration going into a game plan to beat the patriots. coach john harbaugh took time from his busy schedule to talk about his team and the opportunity to reach the super bowl with one more win. >> if we can just get this one, if we can just get this one. here we are saying this same thing, if we can just get this one. if we can get this one now, we'll be saying next week, if we can just get this one. that's the one. it's an opportunity to get to the big game, to play for the world championship. >> you're well connected with the fans. f

james: very classy move by john harbaugh. and again, it was a very tight game indeed. boomer: as far as the super bowl is concerned, i think either team, the giants or the 49ers, can present the same type of problems that the ravens presented to the patriots today. you've got to wonder about gronkowski's ankle. i appreciate tom brady being so honest and so refreshingly honest about his performance today. shannon: i'm looking at the san francisco giants and -- the san francisco 49ers and the giants game. i think it's going to come back to the quarterback. you ask eli manning to win this ballgame for his ball club. the rain will negate the running game for both teams. bill: if you'd have told me that tom brady would have thrown no touchdown passes and two more turnovers than the baltimore raveps, you'd say there's no way they win the game. this is a football team that finds ways to win. dan: they played together as a team today. tom brady threw two interceptions. he's not going to be able to play that way if they want to have a chance to win the super bowl. but congratul

john harbaugh -- led the ravens to a perfect record.rting with a member 0 when bonds of timberland. the team made three stops on sunday night football and a special primetime appearance on thanksgiving night. the brothers cost for the first time as head coaches. from the start of the season, the team's goal was to run the rights to host the divisional playoffs. when used in takes the field, they will face a ferocious ravens team determined to get to the afc championship game and beyond. there is no doubt that john harbaugh -- attack this day with an enthusiasm on known to mankind. as the town continues to support our beloved ravens, we at wbal-tv continued to show our support. we wish our team good luck as this fight to bring the trophy back to baltimore.
