Can Ravens take the Colts out too?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010 at 12:04 am

After they took down Tom Brady and the mighty Patriots last weekend, you can no longer question what these guys can do anymore.

The 2010 NFL playoffs continue with a huge AFC divisional playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens are fresh from eliminating NFL Comeback Player of the Year Tom Brady and his Patriots, this time they are looking to take out the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player of the Year Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts.

A tall order? I’d definitely say so. I mean, Peyton Manning just won his fourth league MVP trophy, his second in a row. And as long as Manning is leading the offense, the Colts can score with the best in the league. But if there’s a team that can come up with an upset win at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, it’s the Ravens.

Fresh from their 33-14 win over the New England Patriots, the Baltimore Ravens offense will once again rely on their running game led by their three-headed monster of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le’Ron McClain.

Rice had a huge game last week with 159 yards and two touchdowns on 22 rushing attempts against the Patriots. The Ravens are hoping for the same against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. Rice has produced 5.3 yards a carry this season. Willis McGahee on the other hand rushed for a 5.0 yards a carry.

The Indianapolis Colts and the Baltimore Ravens met way back on November 22nd with the Colts pulling out a 17-15 victory as a 1-point road favorite. The Colts were very sloppy in that game and were just fortunate to win despite committing three turnovers with Peyton Manning throwing two interceptions.

Despite the poor outing against Ray Lewis and the rest of the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis will still rely on Peyton Manning this weekend. After all, he did have an MVP season for the Colts. He hit 68 percent of his passes with 33 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, once again getting great protection from his offensive line with just 10 sacks.

Manning probably hopes his line will be able to protect him again against arguably the best defense in the league at this point of the postseason.
