Houston noticed. We have the best fans in the country . It&#39;s hard to get into &#39;The Bank&#39; because the fans had courage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are one of the most disciplined teams in terms of pre-snap penalties.  Kansas City has been flagged five times for false starts on the road \u2013 the third-fewest number in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes knows it will be a different test playing against the Ravens.

We&#39;re excited for the challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes isn&#39;t the only quarterback who has issues with noise from Ravens fans.  This season, opponents have had more false starts (19) and delay of game penalties (nine) at M&#038;T Bank Stadium (regular season and playoffs) than anywhere else in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this level, you can sometimes take the fans and the atmosphere for granted. It&#39;s not the same in the league,&#8221; Ravens guard Kyle Hamilton said.  &#8220;Coming from the South, coming from the SEC atmosphere, you kind of get used to it. The Ravens atmosphere is no different than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The noise level is expected to increase further on Sunday.  This is Baltimore&#39;s first AFC championship game in 53 years.  The last time it took place in this city was 53 years ago, when the Baltimore Colts hosted the Oakland Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Ravens coach John Harbaugh instructed fans as if they were his players, telling them to eat a good meal and get a good night&#39;s sleep so they would be ready for the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like [the crowd noise] has been up all season,&#8221; Hamilton said. &#8220;It will be even louder, even more chaotic on Sunday.
