Ray Lewis’s farewell tour will officially end in New Orleans.
Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes in a 10-minute span of the second half to lead Baltimore to its first Super Bowl in 12 years with a 28-13 victory at New England.
The Ravens outscored the Patriots 21-nothing in the second half, and Lewis and company made Tom Brady look ordinary as they stymied the league’s top offence.
Lewis was the M-V-P of the 2001 game, which is the Ravens’ only Super Bowl win.
