Runners Up: Michael Turner got a solid 2.3 yards per carry, Mr. Jackson went 15 for 35.This Scarecrow Needs a Brain: Chadwick Pennington, Sorry Chad but the ride is over. Your storybook season was over and now it's back to the reality that you don't have the arm to get it done against a big time defense.

Chad Pennington had a league low 7 interceptions during the regular season. He had 4 in this game. This was a game where everything went right for the Ravens and everything went wrong for the Dolphins. I mean, they'...

I've been beating this drum on our weekly fantasy football podcasts, but Michael Turner doesn't run well against teams with good (or even mediocre) run defenses.

Dolphins for Breakfast
No, Mike and I aren't cooking Dolphin on the BBQ, but the Ravens made a meal of the Miami offense this morning as Baltimore advanced into the next round of the playoffs. (We did use the barbecue, however, in true tailgating/balcony-gating fashion....and the eggs and sausage tasted even better ...

Playmaker Safety Reed Misses Practice
From: ProFootballTalk.com
