In an electrifying clash for a spot in Super Bowl LVIII, the Baltimore Ravens are set to host their first-ever AFC Championship game at M&T Bank Stadium. As the team gears up for a showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, Ravens fans are getting ready to unleash their legendary energy and create a deafening atmosphere once again.

The Ravens' victory over the Houston Texans in the divisional round showcased the power of the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium. The noise made it virtually impossible for the Texans to effectively communicate, resulting in a staggering five false starts and a delay of game penalty. Throughout the 2023 season, opponents faltered under the pressure of the Ravens' boisterous fans, leading to a league-leading 19 false starts and nine delay of game penalties at the stadium.

Being well aware of the challenges presented by Baltimore's passionate fans, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already mentally prepared for the intimidating environment. Following their triumph over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Mahomes acknowledged the forthcoming challenge, expressing his excitement for what promises to be a raucous atmosphere.

Head Coach John Harbaugh and Ravens players have previously praised their fans for creating an atmosphere that provided the team with a significant homefield advantage. In light of the AFC Championship game's magnitude, Harbaugh anticipates the crowd turning up the volume even further. Acknowledging the impact of the fans during the Houston game, Harbaugh lauded their incredible support, describing the noise as deafening.

Mahomes is no stranger to the thunderous roar of M&T Bank Stadium. He revealed during an interview on "Manningcast" that it was only in Baltimore and Seattle — both notoriously loud venues — that he had to resort to a silent count due to the deafening noise. His last visit to Baltimore in 2021 resulted in a heartbreaking loss as Lamar Jackson flipped into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.

While the stakes are higher this time around as a Super Bowl berth hangs in the balance, Ravens edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney acknowledges the crucial role that the crowd noise will play. With Baltimore's league-leading pass rush aiming to disrupt Mahomes, the orchestrated chaos from the stands will undoubtedly give the Ravens an extra advantage.

Linebacker Roquan Smith, who will be facing Mahomes head-on, is eagerly anticipating the deafening screams echoing through the stadium. He recognizes that the passionate Ravens fans bring an unmatched level of energy, which he believes will be a significant factor in the team's success on Sunday.

As the AFC Championship game draws near, Baltimore is buzzing with anticipation. The city's football-loving fans are ready to unleash their vocal chords, fueled by the prospect of securing a spot in the coveted Super Bowl. With a reputation for creating one of the most raucous and intimidating atmospheres in the league, the Baltimore Ravens fans are poised to bring the noise like never before, leaving a lasting impact on the outcome of the highly anticipated clash against the Kansas City Chiefs.
