(Sports Network) - For the first time in over 25 years the AFC Championship Game will feature a rematch from the previous season. Tom Bradys New England Patriots will once again do battle with Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens for AFC supremacy and a spot in the Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. Catch the game live on CTV and CTV.ca, tonight at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt. The contest is the first AFC title game rematch since Denver and Cleveland teed it up in back-to-back conference championship tilts following the 1986 and 1987 seasons. The Ravens will be returning to Foxboro for the first time since their heartbreaking defeat in last years AFC Championship Game when New England narrowly escaped with a 23-20 victory, after a potential go-ahead touchdown catch was knocked from the grasp of Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff missed an ensuing gimmee field goal attempt that would have tied things in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter. Both Evans and Cundiff are gone but Baltimore is back in search of its second ever Super Bowl appearance. "We fought hard to get back to this point," Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. "We are definitely proud of being here. We are going to give it our all and we know what it felt like last year. We walked off that field without that win. We know what weve put in to get back to this point. It is going to be a great game." The Ravens reached the AFC title game for the third time in five years by cutting Peyton Mannings first season in Denver short and extending Lewis final NFL season when the clubs new kicker, rookie Justin Tucker, knocked home a 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime period to give Baltimore a dramatic 38-35 victory over the Broncos. "That game did the game of football proud," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh remarked afterward. Tuckers deciding field goal came four plays after Corey Graham intercepted Manning in Denver territory for the second time of the game, while the Ravens forced extra time on a thrilling 70-yard touchdown pass from Flacco to Jacoby Jones with just 31 seconds remaining in regulation. It was a desperation heave but in a stunning breakdown of situational football by Denver. Broncos safety Rahim Moore allowed Jones to get deeper than him and compounded that error by badly misplaying the throw in the air before Jones snared it and raced untouched for the startling score. "At that point in the game when you dont have any timeouts and youve got to go a pretty decent length, youve got to start taking shots at some point," said Flacco. "It happened to work out." Flacco also hooked up with Torrey Smith for a pair of touchdowns earlier on while amassing 331 yards on 18-of-34 passing, with Ray Rice contributing 131 rushing yards and a touchdown on 30 carries to the improbable win. "It was pretty incredible," said Flacco. "We overcame some things today and we fought until the very end. When some of those (negative) things happened, none of us blinked. We just sat over there on the sideline and said alright, our turn." The Patriots, meanwhile, advanced to their 10th AFC Championship Game with a 41-28 win over Houston behind Brady, who surpassed his boyhood hero, Joe Montana, to become the winningest signal-caller in NFL playoff history. "Tom is a great competitor," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "Hes our leader and we all follow him. Theres no quarterback Id rather have than Tom Brady." Brady passed for 344 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Texans, including two TD passes to running back Shane Vereen, who saw extensive playing time in place of the injured Danny Woodhead. Vereen also had a 1-yard touchdown run, becoming the third player in NFL history with two TD catches and a touchdown run in a postseason contest. "Shane had a great game," Brady said. "Just a huge growing up moment for him." The Patriots rolled up 457 total yards on Houstons highly regarded defense despite playing most of the way without Pro Bowl tight end Rob Gronkowski, who exited the contest on New Englands second offensive series with a re-fracture of his surgically repaired left forearm, an injury that sidelined him for five weeks during the regular season. Along with Vereen, Wes Welker helped offset Gronkowskis absence by amassing 131 yards on eight receptions. "Thats what Josh does best," said Brady in reference to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. "He gets guys in the best position to make plays and always comes up with a way to adept and scheme things up. Theres no one better in the league." Woodhead, who injured his thumb on the first offensive series against the Texans, is expected to play against the Ravens, but Gronkowski is done for the year. "You cant replace him, but we all have to step up," said Pats tight end Aaron Hernandez when asked about Gronks absence. "It is a huge loss and everyone knows that, but we still have games to win. Everyone has to step it up and we have to do as much as we can do individually to fill his void." The Patriots are 6-1 overall in the regular season and 4-0 at home all-time versus the Ravens. The two teams have met twice previously in the postseason with each winning a game. <a href="http://www.stitchednfljerseyschina.com/">China Jerseys Wholesale</a>.

Selke Trophy as the NHLs best defensive forward. Bergeron, who won the award last year, was the NHLs top face-off man this season, winning 62.1 per cent of his draws. He ranked sixth overall and led the Bruins in plus-minus with a plus-24 rating and played an average of 2:12 per game with his team short-handed.GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Greg Jamison was unable to pull together the funds and investors he needed to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes before a deadline with the city of Glendale expired. His bid to buy the team from the NHL may not be over, though. More complicated, yes, but not necessarily finished. "We remain hopeful the Coyotes sale process will be resolved successfully and we will continue to work with the City of Glendale to move the process forward," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement on Friday. Jamison was unable to complete his purchase of the Coyotes before midnight Thursday, the deadline set in a 20-year, $308 million lease agreement he reached with Glendale for Jobing.com Arena last year. In a statement released Thursday night, Jamison said he will continue to work toward buying the team, but that the lease agreement with the city would have to be renegotiated. Despite the disappointment for the Coyotes and their fans, nothing much changes -- the team has been run by the NHL for over three years and will continue to be. "Mr. Jamison will continue to work with the NHL and the City of Glendale to close a deal that will keep the Coyotes in the Valley," Coyotes chief operating officer Mike Nealy said in a statement. "Although there is no set timetable, hopefully it will be soon. The Coyotes will continue to be owned by the NHL and nothing changges for our organization.ddddddddddddWe will work hard on and off the ice to provide our fans with a winning team that they can be proud of. We would like to thank all of our great fans and corporate partners for their incredible patience and loyalty throughout this process. We know its been difficult and we appreciate their support." Jamisons failure to meet the deadline in the lease agreement could shake things up. Hell continue to work toward buying the team, but will have to work out a new deal with Glendale. The previous City Council approved the initial agreement with Jamison -- it was reworked in November -- but Glendale has a new mayor and three new council members, so getting another deal done isnt a sure thing. The expired deal also opens up the possibility that Jamison could face competition from new bidders to buy the team. "The city and the current owner of the Coyotes, the National Hockey League, will continue to work together on a solution that is in the best interest of Glendale and our citizens," the city of Glendale said in a statement. "The next step involves seeking direction from the City Council to determine how to move forward with this process. The arena was built to serve as a catalyst for the economic growth that has occurred in Glendales Sport & Entertainment District, and its success remains a priority for the city." ' ' '
