Terrell Suggs may miss part, or possibly all, of the 2012 NFL season with a torn Achilles tendon, but the praise for his play in 2011 continues to roll in. - Ravens tight end thinks he and Dennis Pitta can perform as Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez have done for Patriots
- The NFL scouting combine starts Feb. 22. In advance of the annual meat market in Indianapolis, staff writer Matt Vensel will examine each position and give Ravens fans the 4-1-1. In this post he looks at tight ends, including Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, Orson Charles, Ladarius Green and Chase Ford.

- A day after the Ravens lost to the New England Patriots, 23-20, in the AFC championship game, Ravens strong safety Barnard Pollard revealed to the world -- well, a Houston radio station -- which team he will be pulling for in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. I'll give you a hint: It won't be the team that beat the Ravens on Sunday.
- Veteran safety Ed Reed doesn't take questions, while center Matt Birk says he's undecided on retirement
- To make it back to the Super Bowl for the first time in eleven years, the Ravens must beat Tom Brady and the top-seeded New England Patriots on their own turf.
- Former Giants QB — and two-time Super Bowl winner — doesn't understand criticism of Ravens QB Flacco

- Ravens defense getting its fill of Patriots tight ends Gronkowski, Hernandez. Jarret Johnson: "Not a better duo in the league"
- The Ravens' Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta are out to prove they can be as effective as the Patriots' tight ends. Baltimore's second-year tandem has played well but hasn't matched the production of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
- Ravens, Patriots might have to deal with slippery field on Sunday
- If you can't make it to Foxborough, grab some friends and this drinking game to make Sunday's AFC Championship Game a little more interesting.

- But lowly defensive numbers hide a unit that has made big, game-changing plays
- Offensive line must improve and allow Ravens to put together long drives and keep defense fresh enough to face Brady and Co.

- Fantasy Fodder: Fantasy All-Stars for the 2011 NFL season
- We are into the nitty-gritty of the fantasy playoffs, so let's get down to business with injury updates, some waiver-wire pickups if you're desperate, and more. If your squad needs help, shoot me a note. And feel free to leave your horror story in the comments section if you have already been dismissed.
- We will all scrutinize about our fantasy lineups more than ever in the fantasy playoffs, and that has less to do with us wanting to win our league and more to do with us not wanting to end up losing because we benched the wrong player. The best advice: Always, always, always start your best players.
- The timing is a little peculiar, but the Denver Broncos said adieu to former starting quarterback Kyle Orton on Tuesday. He had a good fantasy run under Josh McDaniels, but turnovers did him in with new coach John Fox. Is he worth a waiver claim? You have to read on to find out.
- Grumpy Ravens coach John Harbaugh on Monday had to answer a few questions about the use of Ray Rice in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Based on the line of questioning from reporters, I'm guessing at least one of those guys has Rice, who had 27 rushing yards on a season-low five carries, on their fantasy team.
- Ray Lewis said he will appeal the $20,000 fine he was assessed after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward . The Ravens linebacker said, "It won't change the way I play in this league."
- The Philadelphia Eagles haven't been the team we expected (I'm no longer using the 'D' word when talking about the Eagles, and you're welcome). They are 3-5 at the midway point of the season, and their margin for error is slim to make it into the playoffs.
