Same about Oakland. Though they had a really good ground game, and Gannon had had the big year.
Obviously remember Tony's splash.
The New England game, I was just excited they got back and had that opportunity.
There was a lot of familiarity, and I felt very good about the Ravens chances.

Colts vs. Raiders, January 3, 1971
I watched this yesterday. I remember watching SB V, but I don’t remember watching this game. I was two months shy of my 8th birthday.

I remember having zero worry playing Oakland. I knew we were winning that one.
NE always a concern but the game wasn’t that competitive. Still annoyed with the year before. I think we would have repeated.

As I posted on another thread, there was an article today in the Sun regarding this game, and it turns out it was blacked out in the local viewing area. I wasn't quite six years old yet, so I don't remember much about that game, but I had no idea it couldn't be watched in the Baltimore area.
Turns out that was the M.O. for all NFL broadcasts back then for all teams' home games. It wasn't modified until 1973 with the "72-hour rule," meaning that the game needed to sell out 72 hours before game time in order to be shown in the local market. That was the case with the Colts-Raiders 1977 divisional playoff; it was blacked out here due to not selling out within the prescribed time.

Good point. I remember having to listen to the Ghost to the Post game on the radio because it wasn’t on TV where I lived (Southern MD).
Speaking of the other game against Oakland, Gannon still hates the Ravens to this day.

In 2000 Marvin Lewis would go tell the offense how many points they needed to win. IIRC he told them 10 in Oakland, and it would have held up. Once we got past the Titans I knew we were winning it all.
In 2012 I was half expecting something to go wrong again. Just came off a huge win in Denver, thought the team could be in for a letdown, but Joe took over the second half. That Pollard hit on Ridley turned the tide of that game. It was over after that.

I remember telling my father in law after the win over Oakland in 2000 that the Ravens just won the Super Bowl. The Giants had blown out Minnesota earlier and I felt they blew their wad. I remember the biggest bet I ever placed along with my wife's cousin was on the SB game. All in on the Ravens. No way I felt the GIants could simulate the Ravens speed on defense in practice.

NE came after the Mile High Miracle. After Denver, I knew we were going all the way.
