Ray Lewis gets his respect now. Sunday was his storybook finish. Baltimore's Michael McCrary had two sacks. Ron Woodson had more tackles than Lewis. Duane Starks returned an interception for a touchdown.
Point is, others had better games.
The truth is, Ray Lewis did not make a single tackle in the second half of the game. He did not have a tackle for loss the entire game. He did not make that one bone-rattling hit. Because we were all watching him. When Ray Lewis is on the field, you can't watch anyone else.
