Ken Weinman: Ravens Must Stop The Run

The Baltimore Ravens have a huge game Sunday as they host a playoff game against the Houston Texans.  

We talk about a lot of  different keys when breaking down this game.  Whether it be Joe Flacco making plays or feeding Ray Rice the ball.  To me the key to this game is simple, stop Arian Foster.  

If Foster is able to run the football against the Ravens then it allows rookie QB TJ Yates to relax and just make plays here and there.  If the Ravens shut down the running game then TJ Yates has to make plays to beat you.  Frankly, I don't see that happening.  I also think Yates in a hostile environment is not the same as Yates at home.  

Simply put stop Foster and win the game.
