Steve Gregory: 'Baltimore Ravens are a great team'

Steve Gregory has said that the Baltimore Ravens are a great NFL team, ahead of the AFC championship game this Sunday.

The Ravens face the New England Patriots in a repeat of last year's conference finale, which saw the Ravens lose out.

The Patriots safety told reporters: "We all know Baltimore is a great football team. To go out there in Denver in that atmosphere and to get a win is huge. We know they're a good football team and it's going to be a tough game.

"They have some great receivers over there, guys with speed. [Ravens quarterback Joe] Flacco has a big arm. He makes good decisions with the football, so they have the ability to beat you in many ways and definitely over the top is one of them."

In the 2012 regular season, the Ravens beat the Patriots by a single point.
