'NFL Version Of Alabama!' Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey on Playing Chiefs in AFC Championship

It's been a tough season for Humphrey who missed eight games this year - more than any other in his career - including the Divisional round matchup against the Texans last weekend.

"It's been rough," Humphrey said via the team's website. "I've been kind of trying to stay positive through it. It's definitely not been ideal for me. I think the best thing that has really helped me get through it the most is seeing how the guys are playing on Sundays."

"I'm just super excited to hopefully get out there. The fans, they always talk about 'this moment, this is our year.' To finally get here, to finally have it in M&T Bank Stadium in front of our fans, it's a really exciting moment." 

Humphrey remains excited about getting back on the field and thinks it's fitting they have to play the Chiefs - who have played in six consecutive AFC title games.

 "I feel the Chiefs are like the [NFL] version of Alabama," Humphrey said. "Every year you might be like, 'Ah, they're not looking that good' and they're still that team. They're still the Chiefs. For us to beat them it's going to take everybody firing on all cylinders.

"Mahomes, him and Lamar – it's those two quarterbacks then everybody else. The two best quarterbacks in all the world are going to be on the same field. We're facing one and they're facing the other."
