Ravens tight end Darren Waller's missed opportunity revived memories of Lee Evans

I am a Baltimore sports fan. I put my heart and soul into our teams. I've allowed my fanaticism to influence — even dictate — major life decisions and have invested more time and money into the pastime than I care to share. I've shed tears over men in purple uniforms who are complete strangers to me. I'm that big a fan — I might even care more than the players. So when someone says "sports don't matter," I must respectfully disagree. They absolutely matter, and here's why:

The Ravens have a tough schedule. So does everybody else in their division.

Torrey Smith and Marlon Brown both started for much of their rookie seasons. The Ravens don't necessarily need Breshad Perriman to do the same.

In a gripping battle full of shifting fortunes, indelible plays and strategic intrigue, the Patriots ended the Ravens' season, beating them 35-31 in the AFC Divisional playoffs. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco finally faltered in the postseason with two late interceptions after an otherwise superb performance. His Patriots counterpart, Tom Brady, declawed a fearsome Ravens defense.

As measured by regular-season numbers or Pro Bowl berths, Joe Flacco does note measure up to the NFL's elite. But no quarterback has been a bigger postseason winner over the past seven seasons.

Ravens players all know that if they are going to accomplish what they want -- and that's to be the final AFC team left standing -- they're probably going to have to beat the New England Patriots at some point to do it.

Apparently, the oddsmakers weren't all that impressed with the way the Ravens went into Heinz Field and booted the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the playoffs Saturday night, but what else is new?

This should come as a surprise to no one, but if the Ravens are still standing after Saturday night's playoff matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field, it will be because Joe Flacco is still one of the best clutch quarterbacks in the NFL.

For all the talk about the Ravens' overhauled defense, their offense is also in transition, and much of the burden has fallen on Joe Flacco's shoulders to help accelerate the learning process for the team's new pass catchers. Judging by the results ¿ Flacco threw two interceptions and 28 incompletions in the 49-27 loss to the Broncos ¿ the situation remains a work-in progress.
