Jeff Zrebiec breaks down what to look for when the Ravens play the Falcons on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

¿They¿ve got four running backs that can start for anybody in the league,¿ Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees said.

There remains a shroud of mystery about the Ravens' running game as they face the Carolina Panthers Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Falcons ended the first half with a 20-7 lead in the Ravens¿ preseason home opener in front of an announced 70,527 at M&T Bank Stadium. But the Ravens came back in the second half to beat the Falcons, 27-23.

Even the special teams got into the disappointing act by allowing Dominique Franks to return a punt to the Ravens' 15-yard line.
