BALTIMORE RAVENS (13-4) at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (14-3) (Sunday, CBS, 3:00 PM ET)

In that game, Baltimore running back RAY RICE rushed for a franchise playoff record 159 yards, including two touchdowns. Rice had an 83-yard TD run in that contest, the second-longest rushing touchdown in NFL postseason history.

Ravens quarterback JOE FLACCO threw two touchdown passes and has won five playoff games in his first four NFL seasons, tied with BEN ROETHLISBERGER and KURT WARNER for the second most postseason wins by a QB in his first four years. New England’s TOM BRADY won six playoff games in his first four NFL seas...

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Heading into Sunday's AFC Championship against the Ravens, the Patriots' defense knows it will have its hands full with a 5-foot-8 dynamo of a running back. Ray Rice drives Baltimore's offense on the ground and, perhaps more importantly, through the air. Rice led the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage during the regular season. He was second in the...

Patriots LB Rob Ninkovich talks about covering short people and hitting tall people
Ray Rice is listed at 5-foot-8. That, accordingly, makes me about 5-foot-10. But let’s be real. The Ravens RB is not 5-8, just like I’m not 5-10 (OK, maybe 5-9).
