Rice romps

See what happens when you have the ball first. The Ravens accepted the opening kickoff for only the third time in 17 games and started on offense for only the second time this year, and they were up a touchdown before Joe Flacco could say "My hip is starting to feel better."

Ray Rice took the first handoff of the game and sprinted 83 yards for a touchdown. It was the longest run of his career and the second-longest run from scrimmage in NFL playoff history. The record is held by Fred Taylor, who had a 90-yard run for Jacksonville against the Miami Dolphins in 1999.

Instant update: Tom Brady was just sacked by Terrell Suggs and fumbled the ball at the 17 yard line. Suggs also recovered the ball for the Ravens.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
