Ravens RB Rice Seeks New Playoff Memory To Cherish

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- Ray Rice has played in eight postseason games, none more memorable than the one in which he ran for 159 yards to help the Baltimore Ravens beat the New England Patriots.

About the only thing that could possibly top that would be playing in the Super Bowl, a quest Rice just might realize if he can again run wild Sunday's AFC championship game against those same Patriots.

Now in his fourth season, Rice has emerged as Baltimore's main offensive threat. The 5'8" running back stepped into that role in his second year, when he enjoyed the first of three straight seasons with more 1,000 yards rushing.

Rice put together a masterful performance against the Patriots in the 2009 postseason, beginning with an 83-yard run on the first play from scrimmage.
