FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Karl Alzner Jersey . - The temperature drops, friendly fans roar and the Patriots pile up victories.New England has the best home record in the NFL in Bill Belichicks 15 seasons as coach, playoffs included.Watch out, though. Here come the road-tested Baltimore Ravens for a divisional game Saturday.Theres nothing that the crowd can do to help you make the plays that youre supposed to make, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said.The Ravens arent likely to get rattled even against the AFCs top-seeded team. Not with cool Joe Flacco at quarterback and a 2-1 playoff record at Gillette Stadium in the past five seasons.Baltimore has 10 post-season road wins, all since 2008 and tied with Green Bay for most in NFL history.Why so many?Well, shoot, we cant get ourselves any home (games), I guess, Flacco said. Weve obviously had a lot of chances at (road games), a lot of experience with it, and reacted well in it.The Ravens won three road playoff games and the Super Bowl in the 2012 season. Last Saturday they won a wild-card game 30-17 in Pittsburgh while the Patriots had a bye.We could be going to play on Mars and Id still be very confident, Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith said.Since Belichick became coach in 2000, the Patriots are 1-2 in the playoffs against the Ravens and 11-1 against all other teams.New England lost AFC championship games to Baltimore in the 2009 and 2012 seasons and beat them in the 2011 season before losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.Both the Patriots (12-4) and sixth-seeded Ravens (11-6) insist thats irrelevant now with players and assistant coaches who werent in those earlier games.Thats all overblown, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. Its how well you play the game in that three-hour block against the opponent.Despite the personnel changes, the teams know each other very well.It seems like the Baltimore Ravens are a division opponent, we play them so much, Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said.The last time they met, the Patriots won 41-7 late last season. But that was in Baltimore.On Saturday, the Ravens will be in a stadium where their only playoff loss was by three points.Weve had a good football team around here, Flacco said, and guys that are strong and not intimidated.Some things to watch as the Patriots seek their fourth straight AFC championship berth:FLACCOS TIME: Playoff time is Flaccos time to shine. Hes thrown 13 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the Ravens current five-game post-season winning streak. In the wild-card win over Pittsburgh, he threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns.Big-time players show up when you need them most, Smith said.He and Flaccos main target, Steve Smith, will have stiff challenges in cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, both in their first season with New England.PRESSURING BRADY: The Ravens were tied for second in the NFL with 49 sacks, led by 17 from Elvis Dumervil and 12 from Terrell Suggs. The Patriots offensive line has improved after early-season problems, but Brady may have to throw quickly to avoid being sacked.I dont think you want to stand back there and see how long you can hold the ball against these guys, he said.GRONKS BACK: Rob Gronkowski has been healthy and dominant all season after a knee injury kept him out of the last five games last season, including a playoff loss to Denver.Its always special just being in the playoffs, he said. I cant take it for granted.Gronkowski had 82 catches, led all tight ends with 1,124 yards receiving and tied Antonio Gates for most touchdowns at that position with 12.Hes big. Hes fast. Hes tough. Hes nasty, Harbaugh said. He gets the ball in his hands and he wants to punish people.FORSETTS EMERGENCE: Journeyman running back Justin Forsett turned into a cornerstone of the Ravens offence after Ray Rice was released and suspended. Forsett was fifth in the NFL with a career-high 1,266 yards rushing and led the leagues running backs with 5.4 yards per carry.He reads blocking schemes very well, sets up blocks well, has got good vision and he makes a lot of yards on his own, Belichick said.COLD FACTS: With temperatures expected in the teens, Wilfork still plans to wear short sleeves. He grew up in Florida and played college football at Miami.I dont care if its minus 2 or 98, you have to be able to play that football game, and the more you can just focus on your opponent and everything else just block it out, the better youll be, he said.The Ravens opened the doors to their indoor practice facility to get acclimated to the chill expected Saturday.We know its going to be cold, Baltimore linebacker Darryl Smith said. I guess that, mentally, did a little something for us (to) get ready for the game.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Victor Mete Jersey . The San Angelo, Texas product, who was a high school and college quarterback sensation in the Lone Star State, will start his first CFL game with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-4) on Friday at Mosaic Stadium against the leagues top team, the Calgary Stampeders (11-2).

The three goals bring Messis career tally for Barcelona to 371 in all games -- including friendlies -- breaking the club record of 369 held by Paulino Alcantara since 1927. The 26-year-old Messi was already the clubs all-time leading scorer in official games. Messi assured Barcelonas fans they will enjoy his goals for years to come, saying "as long as people want me, I will stay here.Players left Canadas Olympic orientation camp in Calgary knowing the road to proving they belong in Sochi begins now. Coach Mike Babcock wanted each player to know what it would take to make the team, but its up to general manager Steve Yzerman and his staff to start evaluating once the regular season gets underway. "The final scouting for the management group to put the final roster together begins immediately," Yzerman said. Thats a lot of pressure all around, when the expectation in Canada is nothing short of a gold medal. Team Canadas management group has a representative from every division -- the Boston Bruins Peter Chiarelli, the Detroit Red Wings Ken Holland, the St. Louis Blues Doug Armstrong and the Edmonton Oilers Kevin Lowe -- so the spotlight will be bright. "I think its going to be on your mind fairly often, whether youre being asked about it or youre playing against guys who were at the camp, its going to come up," Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "Its always in the back of your mind, but I think if you just focus on playing well for your own team and making sure you have a good first half, then everything kind of takes care of itself." In the immediate future, players return to their preparations for training camp. Canadas coaches and front-office personnel have jobs to do as well, but theyll stay in touch regularly, mostly on conference calls. "Well arrange our schedule over the next week or so to get ready for the start of the regular season," Yzerman said Tuesday evening. "Well get together as a group early November to narrow things down a little bit and talk about what were seeing and make sure were all in constant communication and get organized from November to mid-December and make our final decisions at that point." The focus will be on monitoring the 47 players invited to camp, even though anyone can work his way into the Olymppic conversation with a strong enough start. Andrew Shaw Jersey. Yzerman doesnt consider anyone who was in Calgary a "long shot." "Well keep an eye on everybody but focus on particular teams, particular games, particular players that were deciding on," he said. "There was a few guys we dont feel the need to watch. But we know what they can do and theyre going to be on this team, assuming theyre healthy." Yzerman estimated that, conservatively, there were eight or nine locks to make it. Crosby, Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and defenceman Duncan Keith, Nashville Predators captain Shea Weber, Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty, Tampa Bay Lightning centre Steven Stamkos, Boston Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron, New York Islanders centre John Tavares and New York Rangers winger Rick Nash seem to fit that bill. Putting together the rest of the roster could be a painstaking process, considering Canadas depth. Weber wants no part of that. "Thats why Im the player, theres too many tough decisions," he said. "You go down the list and everybody deserves the chance. Thats why theyre here. Theres even guys that arent here that probably will get a good look during the season. Were very fortunate in Canada to have a big selection, but definitely some tough choices." Yzerman expects to have the roster figured out by mid-to-late December. The deadline for all countries to submit is Dec. 31. Between now and then, plenty could change Team Canadas potential makeup. "Theres a lot of could-bes, but I think the first half of the year just has such an impact on whos on the team," Crosby said. "Im sure theres some guys in mind, but therell be guys who have standout first halves, and will make it tough not to be selected. So I think were going to see here in the first half who really shows they want to be part of it."
