He didn't wear a red cape and goofy tights, but Willis McGahee was definitely the Ravens Superman in their 21-13 win over the Oakland Raiders Sunday, a win that propels them into the playoffs, where they'll face the new England Patriots either next Saturday or Sunday.

 The Ravens didn't pass too well against the Raiders, but, boy, did they run the ball well, with McGahee rushing for 167 yards and three TD's and the Ravens grinding out 243 yards on the ground.

And McGahee's thrilling 77-yard TD run in the second quarter might have been the team's most exciting play of the season, punctuated by a stiff-arm that left Raiders free safety Hiram Eugene sprawled on the turf.

 Ravens fans might have wondered where McGahee's been in the second half of the season.

But they have to be glad he finally showed up big-time when the Ravens needed him most.
