Ravens Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
After two weeks of going toe-to-toe with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans, the Ravens expect more of a finesse game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
“Peyton’s going to want to go back there and go through all the little games. Then, he’ll call at the line trying to play with Ray (Lewis) and our secondary,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “But we’ll try not to give him anything. Like I said, it isn’t going to be the physical game it’s been the last two weeks.”
Lewis considers matching up against Manning “a chess match.”
“He’s trying to put his players in the right position (and) I’m trying to make sure mine are in the right position,” Lewis said. “You just kind of get two brains going.

Remember when?
T he last time the Ravens visited Indianapolis, the Colts still played in the RCA Dome and quarterback Peyton Manning was gunning for Dan Marino’s record of 48touchdown passes in a season. Although the Ravens kept Manning from the 20-year-old record, they couldn’t keep the Colts out of the win column Dec.19, 2004. The 20-10 victory was the Colts’ seventh straight, and it dropped the Ravens into a four-way tie for the final AFC playoff spot. When the Ravens return to Indianapolis on Sunday, they will play in Lucas Oil Stadium, a retractable-roof stadium that opened Aug.14.
