The team will now move on to take on the New England Patriots. Ravens fans are confident they will get the win.
“We’ve shown ourselves that we can beat them every single year. So I think it’s going to be a good year,” one fan said.
To make sure there’s no shortage of Purple Pride in Baltimore, printing companies already have playoff shirts ready to go.
The printing machines at Maryland Screen Printers are already full of purple and black ink for fans to sport their Purple Pride.
“It’s a nice little bonus in January where it’s normally a slow time of the year. It’s just fun to be part of it. Now we got Raven playoff football. So it’s pretty cool,” a screen printer said.
Fans say the Ravens offense has struggled, and in order to beat the Patriots, they will have to keep up their momentum.
“It’s going to be a tough road, but I think they will pull out a win,” said one Ravens fan.
Maryland Screen Printers started printing t-shirts at 6 a.m. Sunday.
