The Ravens have studied their possible playoff pairings. The only thing for sure: Baltimore gets to play its first game at home as the AFC North champion.
The Baltimore Ravens can only hope the performance they received from their offensive line last weekend is an indication of what lies ahead for a unit that relies on an unexpected mixture of experience and youth.
The Ravens clinched the division last week and have all but been given a pass for their upcoming game against Cincinnati. No one would blame Baltimore if they decided to rest their players in preparation for the postseason, but coach John Harbaugh has instilled a winning culture in Baltimore and have made it clear that they are in it to win it on Sunday.
Six Baltimore Ravens were voted to the Pro Bowl, the NFL announced Wednesday evening. Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, Vonta Leach, Ray Rice, Marshal Yanda and Jacoby Jones were selected to play in the NFL's All-Star game, which will be held on Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu.
Linebacker Ray Lewis has been added to the Baltimore Ravens' 53-man roster, but coach John Harbaugh says the 17-year veteran will not play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens are back-to-back AFC North Champions. They'll play either Cincinnati or Indianapolis next week. With their home playoff game secured, many wonder if Baltimore should rest their starters to avoid further injury. But Harbaugh expects to keep the foot on the gas as he looks to sweep Cincinnati for the second straight year.
Now that they've finally wrapped up another AFC North crown, the Baltimore Ravens intend to get healthy, close out the regular season with a win and take some momentum into the playoffs.
The Ravens are at the cusp of a 5th consecutive playoff berth. Often times in the postseason, it's the team with the most experience that is able to come out on top. There aren't too many players with the experience of Ravens C Matt Birk. Finishing his 15th season in the NFL, Birk has proven that experience often times trumps youth.
Ravens playoff tickets will be available starting Friday at 10 a.m.
The Ravens clinched the AFC division title for the second straight year. This will be the third time in history they have won the division. They are now 10-0 under John Harbaugh when facing an NFC team at home. With players coming back for the postseason they will be getting healthier, and stronger.
The Baltimore Ravens feel as if they've already started the playoffs.
Many had written off this team prior to this contest. If they were making the playoffs, it would be a short trip for the injured team. But after embarrassing the defending Super Bowl Champions, the mood has changed for Ravens fans. Baltimore showed that when given the opportunity, they can put up points in bunches. And as the defense get's healthier, they have the scheme in place to shut an offense down.
Joe Flacco threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns, and the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants 33-14 Sunday to capture the AFC North title.
