Five things to know about next Sunday’s Denver Broncos-Baltimore Ravens playoff game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High:
1. Manning owns Ravens: Denver quarterback Peyton Manning has won nine straight games against the Ravens and is 9-2 overall versus Baltimore. The Broncos dominated the Ravens in Baltimore on Dec. 16 in a 34-17 win -- the franchise's first victory at M&T Bank Stadium. It was a shining example of Manning’s influence on the Broncos. In addition to Manning's ownage of the Ravens, Denver has an overall hot streak going. It has won 11 straight games.
2. The Ray Lewis factor: Lewis won’t exactly be the same X factor emotionally in this game as he was for Baltimore in its win over Indianapolis on Sunday at home. The stadium was roaring for Lewis. It will still be an emotional game for his teammates as Lewis’ Hall of Fame career will end when the Ravens lose. Lewis played great against the Colts with 13 tackles and will be a factor next week. Lewis didn’t play against Denver last month and Baltimore’s defense overall is much healthier than it was when it last faced Denver.
