This is turning into a potentially magical season for the Baltimore Ravens.
First, they made their case as the best team in the NFL by knocking off the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in Week 13.
Hours later, the New England Patriots lost 28-22 to the Houston Texans, which allowed the Ravens to take over the No. 1 spot in the AFC playoff race.
Perhaps most importantly, the Ravens players and coaches are staying grounded.
The focus has been on the team in front of them and that strategy is paying dividends.
