"Say this for Joe Flacco - and this certainly bodes well for the Ravens heading into their showdown with the New England Patriots Sunday in the AFC Championship game - the much-maligned quarterback has certainly been at his best in his team's biggest games this season.

The Ravens are 7-0 this season against 2011 playoff teams and one of the reasons for that is Flacco has been able to make plays and keep the ball out of harm's way.

In those seven games, Flacco has thrown 10 touchdown passes and just two interceptions. He also has completed 126 of his 202 pass attempts, good for a completion percentage of 62 percent. Flacco's completion percentage for the regular season was 57.6, a career low."
