That is so hard to come by and we just keep stacking that now.
The Ravens had almost zero experience playing in an AFC Championship against a team of this caliber and it showed.
Everyone says the playoffs are a different speed and the entire roster knows that speed now. Very likely our next playoff opponent won't have a roster that's been steeped in the playoffs.

Agree with the original post and agree with this.
You could pull together a list of HoF players at every position who don’t have the Super Bowl experience and success of guys like Watson, McDuffie, Karlaftis, Connor, Rice, Chenel, Williams, Creed, Smith, etc., etc. It’s really incredible how many of our starters have won the Super Bowl every year they’ve been in the league. To your point, this has to instill a minimum acceptable level of performance that is light years ahead of every other roster in the league.
It’s also why I think, off subject, that we should spend what we need to keep this together group together. It’s just such a unique situation and opportunity.
