The New England Patriots know it will take their best effort Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens to win the AFC Championship and advance to the franchise's eighth Super Bowl.
On Sunday, the two best teams in the AFC will go head-to-head in Foxborough with a trip to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans on the line … and that’s the way it should be. “It’s a game day battle out there,” New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens. “They’ve got a good team, we’ve got a good team, and those games have come down to the wire.” For the second straight season, the AFC title game will feature the Patriots and Ravens at Gillette Stadium. Like many of the meetings between these two teams over the past decade, last January’s conference championship game came down to just a few plays in a 23-20 Patriots victory. “We know it will be a big challenge for us this …

Four fighter jets will be flying over Foxborough Sunday prior to the start of the New England Patriots AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium.
Correction (Jan. 12, 2013) - A previous version of this article incorrectly reported F-16s would be flying over Sunday's game. A quartet of military fighter jets will be flying over Gillette Stadium Sunday prior to the start of the New England Patriots AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans. Four F-15 fighter jets from the 104th Fighter Wing out of Massachusetts Air National Guard in Westfield will be flying over Gillette Stadium – and Foxborough – at approximately 4:35 p.m. Kick-off will follow shortly after.

The New England Patriots closed out the regular season Sunday with a 28-0 shutout over the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium.
The New England Patriots needed a win against the Miami Dolphins Sunday and a loss by either the Houston Texans or the Denver Broncos to earn a bye in next weekend's AFC Wild Card round. The Indianapolis Colts took care of the Texans, knocking off Houston in head coach Chuck Pagano's return to the sidelines after a near-season long bout with Leukemia and the Patriots thrashed the Dolphins in a 28-0 win at Gillette Stadium. Sunday's results mean the Patriots will enter the 2012-13 postseason as the number two seed behind the Broncos, who beat the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday to lock up the AFC's top seed. The Pats will rest up during next weekend's Wild Card round before hosting the winner of next Sunday's Indianapolis at Baltimore game or the…
