Ravens coach John Harbaugh after 17-3 loss: "To get to the [AFC] Championship game, you have to play two really great games, and things have to bounce your way. That didn't happen for us today, but I'm proud of the guys. I feel like what we've been through as a football team, the road we traveled this year, the challenges that we faced, all well-documented, I feel like our guys handled them with toughness and with grace. We'll hold our heads high walking out of here and into the offseason."

Dobbins and two sacks. Jackson has been limited to 18 yards rushing on seven attempts.
