BALTIMORE (AP) -Their season done, their uniforms replaced by tailored suits, Ray Lewis and Steve McNair walked over to each other in a silent, nearly empty Baltimore Ravens locker room Saturday evening. McNair sighed and shook his head. Lewis patted him on the shoulder and offered a few words of encouragement. ``Nothing to hold your head down about,'' the linebacker told his quarterback. ``We gave everything we had.'' That's certainly true of Lewis, Ed Reed and the rest of Baltimore's superb defense, |

BALTIMORE (AP) -The Indianapolis Colts took a page right out of the Baltimore Ravens' playbook. The Colts' defense answered every Ravens challenge, and proved more stout and more opportunistic than the league's best-ranked unit in a game of field goals that sent Indianapolis into next week's AFC championship game with a 15-6 win at Baltimore on Saturday. ``We knew their defense was going to come out and put a lot of pressure on our offense, and we decided that we were going to pressure them, too,'' Colts |

BALTIMORE. (AP) -Once again, Peyton Manning had a so-so playoff game. Less than so-so if you count the two interceptions the Baltimore Ravens should have had but dropped. Who cares? Certainly not Manning. He and the Indianapolis Colts are on the way to the AFC championship game after beating Baltimore 15-6 on Saturday in a game with no touchdowns. That following a regular season in which their defensive struggles - an NFL-worst 173 yards per game allowed on the ground - made them a long shot in the playo |

BALTIMORE (AP) -Adam Vinatieri set an NFL postseason record with his 33rd career field goal Saturday, his fourth of the game for the Indianapolis Colts against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Vinatieri broke the record held by Gary Anderson, who kicked 32 field goals in 22 games. Vinatieri has played in 19 games for New England and Indianapolis. He kicked three last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vinatieri connected on kicks of 23, 42, 51 and 48 yards Saturday. The record-setting kick came with 1 |

| (MySportsbook) - M&T Bank Stadium will be filled with many memories and emotions on Saturday when the Baltimore Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. Baltimore was once home for the Colts, who left town for Indy in the middle of the night in March 1984. Then-owner Robert Irsay was responsible for the move and much of the hatred Ravens fans have for the Indianapolis franchise. Irsay's son, Jim, took over for his late father and will make his fourth trip back to Ba |

UP NEXT The Colts return home for a divisional playoff showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. No, it won't really be a home game, but the Colts will head to the city they called home until moving to Indianapolis for the 1984 season. It will be the first NFL divisional playoff game in Baltimore since December 24, 1977 when the Colts dropped |

My bold offseason prediction is that the Jets will trade linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who never seemed comfortable in defensive coordinator Bob Sutton's new 3-4 defense. I think the Jets will make a strong run at Baltimore Ravens LB Adalius Thomas. Tackle Anthony Clement is the only Jets starter that is a free agent this offseason. 2008 OPPONENTS The Jets will host Buffalo, Miami, New England, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Washington and Kansas City.

Addai's emergence could create an interesting chess match for the Baltimore Ravens in this Saturday's divisional-round game. If they stack the line of scrimmage, to shut down the run, Manning could take advantage by throwing in the middle of the field. If they back off and play umbrella coverage with seven or eight defenders, Ma |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -The Baltimore Ravens were walking off the practice field recently when defensive end Trevor Pryce pulled coach Brian Billick aside for a brief chat. ``I was telling Brian that this is the most fun I've had playing football in a long time,'' Pryce said. ``When you're winning, that cures a lot of things.'' Baltimore is 13-3 and Pryce leads the team with 13 sacks, but those aren't the only reasons the 31-year-old defensive end seems to be wearing a perpetual smile on his face these d |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -The Baltimore Ravens won a franchise-record 13 games this season because their offense provided sufficient support to the league's top-rated defense. They hope to implement the same formula Saturday in their playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. After yielding at least 100 yards rushing in each of their 16 regular season games, the Colts stacked the line of scrimmage last weekend in an effort to stop Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. The strategy worked perfect |
