In a stunning display of celebration, the Baltimore Ravens turned their locker room into a party atmosphere following their victory over the Houston Texans in the divisional round. Led by head coach John Harbaugh's dancing, the team rejoiced in earning a spot in the AFC Championship game.

After their impressive 34-10 win, the Ravens players gathered in a huddle, forming a dance circle initiated by tight ends coach George Godsey. Harbaugh enthusiastically joined in, boogying along with the cheers from his players and fellow coaches.

Addressing the media after the game, Harbaugh couldn't help but smile as he described the locker room dance party. He was quick to point out that it wasn't just him but a collective effort. "It was everybody," he said. "George Godsey started it off... George got us started and then we all got in there and danced, so I just want you to know that it wasn't just me, just for the record."

The celebration was well-deserved, as the Ravens exhibited an exceptional performance in the second half to secure the victory. With the game tied at 10-10 at halftime, Baltimore demonstrated their dominance by shutting down Houston's offense and outscoring them 24-0 in the final two quarters.

Reflecting on the halftime atmosphere, Harbaugh mentioned that the locker room had a sense of determination. "The locker room was good," he stated. "I think everyone was just kind of a little edgy. We were all a little edgy.... Everyone just kind of took a deep breath and said 'Alright, it's 0-0. Gave up a big punt return and it's our game to go win.'"

The Ravens' triumph in the divisional round will go down in history, as it guarantees them the opportunity to host the AFC Championship game for the first time ever. This monumental achievement brings anticipation to the city of Baltimore, marking their first AFC Championship game appearance since the Colts' victory over the Raiders in 1971, leading to their Super Bowl V win.

The Ravens now eagerly await the outcome of Sunday's intense matchup between the Bills and the Chiefs in the divisional round. The winner of this game will be the Ravens' formidable opponent in the upcoming AFC Championship. As the Bills seek revenge after consecutive playoff losses to the Chiefs in recent years, all eyes will be on this highly anticipated clash.
