Baltimore Beatdown: Manning Vs. Lewis

Sure the Baltimore Ravens are playing the Indianapolis Colts in one of this weekend’s playoff games, but Baltimore Beatdown suggests watching the game within the game. Peyton Manning is the unquestioned leader of the Colts, Ray Lewis is the unquestioned leader of the Ravens. One’s on offense, the other on defense. Which means we get to watch two future Hall-of-Famers battle it out on the gridiron. No matter how it plays out, you can expect the best from two of the best ever.

Their abilities to watch game tape and be prepared are unparalleled in the game today. Watching their “game within the game” as they square off with each other is as enjoyable and fascinating as the game itself. If you’ve watched the games for years or even if you’ve never seem the two of them on the field at the same time, concentrate on what goes on before the snap as much as what happens once the ball is hiked. You’ll find a new found respect for both guys, as well as additional understanding of what an intense game this is.

Video: Since this post came from a Ravens perspective, here’s a little treat for Baltimore fans.
