The Baltimore Ravens entered their home matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a golden opportunity to lock up the AFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Ravens ended up clinching both in convincing fashion.

The Ravens cruised to a 56-19 win over the current AFC East leaders in Week 17. From the eight total touchdown drives from the offense to the three takeaways from the defense, the Ravens put together one of the more complete performances by any team this season.

The road to Super Bowl 58 in the AFC will run through Baltimore, and Roquan Smith is ready for the challenge that will come his team's way this month.

'"The Bank, I never played here prior to coming here — never got a chance to play in Baltimore — but hearing the fans here, man, it’s an amazing atmosphere," Smith said during his postgame press conference. "I’m grateful to be here, and it gets rocking, so I'm excited for whoever it is. Just know, we’re doing it chin up, chest out.

"It’s got to come through ‘The Bank,’ and we’re going to be ready, by any means necessary."

The Ravens boast a 6-2 record at home on the season. Overall, Baltimore holds a 3-4 record at home in the playoffs.

The Ravens will close out their regular season schedule with a home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
