Nate Solder has said that he feels well prepared to face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game this weekend.
The New England Patriots meet the Ravens at the Gillette Stadium for the second consecutive year in the conference final.
The Patriots offensive lineman told reporters: "I felt really prepared last year and I feel really prepared this year.
"[The Ravens] are skilled at what they do. They've been doing it successfully for a while now. They're well coached, they're good athletes, they play hard, they work together. There are a lot of challenges with this group.
"In terms of preparing, I am going to look at their most recent games. I think that is the best way to do it. I don't whether it helped or not."
The Patriots beat the Ravens in last year's final, but Baltimore came out on top in their regular season meeting.
