On Monday, the Baltimore Ravens officially landed in New Orleans to begin making preparations for their Super Bowl XLVII showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.

Obviously, very little about the Ravens' trip to the Big Easy is going to be easy. The team's vaunted defense, led by future Hall of Famers Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, will have its hands full against second-year gunslinger Colin Kaepernick. Corralling the Niners' all-time leading rusher in Frank Gore is going to be no easy task, either.

Offensively, Joe Flacco is going to have to stay extremely mobile in the pocket, as the San Francisco pass rush is not for the faint of heart. Ray Rice has been making plays out of the backfield, whether it be in the rushing or receiving game, since he came into the league. However, like Flacco, he may have never faced a challenge as daunting as he will come game time.

The biggest challenge, however, is posed by family. For the first time in Super Bowl history, two brothers face-off as opposing head coaches. Jim Harbaugh of the Niners pits his squad against brother John Harbaugh's Ravens.
