"The Baltimore Ravens do this to you, and it doesn't matter who you are or where you're playing. They break you physically, they break you emotionally and they break you mentally. They did it to the Cowboys in Dallas in the 15th game of the regular season. They did it to the Jaguars at home in the 16th game.
And they did it Sunday to Miami at Dolphin Stadium, beating up the Dolphins 27-9 in a game that looked more like a hazing incident than an NFL playoff game.
When it was over, the Dolphins had set all kinds of season lows, or highs, or however you want to look at their whopping number of interceptions (four) and turnovers (five) and utter degradation (lots).
Baltimore safety Ed Reed had two interceptions for the fifth time in seven games, an achievement that begs you to look at this sentence again. Just to make sure you read it correctly. In the past seven games, he has 10 interceptions -- two in a game, five different times. All since Nov. 23" :00hour
"...the cruel way the Ravens go about it. They wear on teams like water dropping on a rock, breaking down the Dolphins as thoroughly as they broke down the Cowboys and Jaguars in the preceding weeks. The beatdown is so complete that the other team, whoever it is, quits. The entire team. Even the other defense, which doesn't have to play the Baltimore defense but has to walk onto the same field and step in the same footsteps and know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that in this game of men and boys, the Ravens are the men. And if you're on the other side, you're the boys.
Dallas quit in a revolutionary fashion, surrendering two touchdowns runs of more than 75 yards, both in the final minutes of a 33-24 loss that lingered like a hangover into the following week. Needing to beat the Eagles to reach the playoffs, the emasculated Cowboys didn't put up a fight, going down 44-6."
"...Every point in the game is a big point in the game against the Ravens. Nothing is given. Nothing is yielded. The mental pressure is relentless to the point that Flacco, the rookie quarterback, was saying after the Jacksonville game that he had expected the Jags to wilt after one quarter.
Next up: The Tennessee Titans.
When do you think they'll wilt?"
