BALTIMORE – Shortly after setting the Baltimore Ravens’ record for postseason receiving yards in a game Sunday, Anquan Boldin stepped to the podium across the hall from the locker room with a towel draped around his neck and a stern expression.

The discussion had shifted from the 24-9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in the first round of the AFC playoffs to today’s showdown against the Denver Broncos, and Boldin dispensed with the pleasantries often associated with evaluating an opponent.

This was no time for diplomacy The Ravens have redemption on the agenda for their trip to Mile High Stadium after a 34-17 loss to the Broncos in Baltimore on Dec. 16.
