The Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will have rest for the next a few days to take care of his quad injury, but hopefully he would be able to put on his NO. 5 Ravens jersey and play in the Saturday night’s playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Flacco was limping during pregame warm-ups before Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. He threw only 10 passes Sunday, completing four for 34 yards, and had a passer rating of 10.0. Anyway it was still much better than previous expectation. Previously there was concern he might not be able to play as Flacco has been nursing a hip injury for about five weeks and had to have blood drained from the area several weeks ago.
The second-year quarterback started the season strong but has struggled the past three weeks because of injuries that caused him to have little mobility and fail to step into a number of throws. Expecting to be at 100 percent Saturday night against the Colts, Flacco may be also expecting to prove his value by giving 100 percent performance.

Two Patriots got injured in wild-card game
At the cost of two players, the New England Patriots still failed to win Sunday’s wild-card playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens 14-33, their first loss to the Ravens. It was also the Patriots second straight playoff games since the 17-14 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants two years ago.
Cornerback Shawn Springs was the first player to be lost during the game. A head injury caused him to leave the field as early as in the first half and may keep him away from playing football for quite a long time. Putting on Patriots jersey as a free agent this season, Springs started eight of the 12 games he played with the team. A knee injury kept him out for four games in the middle of the season.
The other guy was wide receiver Sam Aiken, who left in the fourth quarter after a hard hit on an incompletion and did not return. The head injury did not seem like a serious one as he was able to walk off the field on his own. But it was scary as he was lying on the ground for several minutes before getting up.
