Show Your Purple Pride in Essex

How are you showing off your Ravens fandom during the team's playoff run?

Denver is thousands of miles and two time zones away, but that won't matter to Ravens fans Saturday afternoon as the hometown team takes on the Denver Broncos.

This weekend saw Ray Lewis take the field at M&T Bank Stadium for the final time. The linebacker, who has been with the team since 1996 and announced his planned retirement last week, did his iconic dance one last time after the final play in their 24-9 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

On Saturday, Lewis and the Ravens defense faces a Broncos offense led by quarterback Peyton Manning. The Broncos (13-3) have won 11 straight.
