"[ The Ravens 2010 season will be on the line Saturday, the offensive line.
There are several keys for heading into the AFC divisional playoffs against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field, but none more critical than the Ravens protecting quarterback Joe Flacco.
They have to keep him upright. If not, they can't win.
It's as obvious as the many cosmetic surgeries done on Joan Rivers' face. Few teams run on the Steelers, and when they do, it's just to keep them honest and force them to provide some resistance.
The Ravens may choose to get into a slugfest with the Steelers, but the best way to beat them is to throw the football. You beat Pittsburgh the same way you beat Baltimore.
You spread them out with three- and four-receiver sets. You force them to play more nickel and dime coverage than they're accustomed to. You challenge cornerback Ike Taylor and beat fellow cornerback Bryant McFadden like an old, worn out drum.
Again and again…. ]"
