Ravens fever is sweeping Maryland, and we're no less than 48 hours away from the showdown in Miami.
Kelly McPherson reports rallies were held throughout the area, and they were all packed with pumped up fans ready for victory.
"I'm so excited. I'm a rookie, so this is my first time experiencing playoffs," said a fan.
At High Tops in Lutherville, fans are fired up with Ravens fever. In Parkville, there was a party in the bakery section at Shopper's Market.
In preparation for the playoffs, some Ravens fans even got new hair dos with plans to wear purple all weekend.
Purple Fridays are continuing into the playoffs with a full day of rallies all around Baltimore.
Ravens cheerleaders, playmakers, front office staff and team mascot, Poe, made several stops during their day-long, traveling caravan.
The partying continued into the night all over Maryland. In Glen Burnie, the cheers could be heard far and wide.
"You guys got it this year. Flacco, go," said a fan.
Ravens players Adam Terry and Jason Brown even stopped by.
"I think I remember going into the huddle and telling Flacco, 'I think you won the town over the first time they started cheering Flacco,'" said Terry.
Fans also rallied in Reisterstown.
"If they beat the Titans, they're one of the best, and that means they're going to the Super Bowl," said Ethan Stern.
"I'm real pumped. We're going to take it. I say it's going to be 21-3, that's going to be the score," said a fan.
The Ravens faithful predict the players are working as a team and will make it to the Super Bowl.
