Despite playing in New England, fans came in big numbers to watch Ravens earn the franchise's second Super Bowl trip. The head coach and players noticed.
John Harbaugh smiled plenty throughout Monday's news conference. Considering his team is headed to the Super Bowl a week from Sunday, that's no surprise.

She: Who knows when that might be... better go with the orange lights for spring training. He: You have no faith. She: I’m realistic… you don’t want to waste the light bulbs…
