ESPN: Keys to Beating the 49ers
What tied San Francisco's worst games of the season together? They tended to struggle running the ball, while the pass defense gave up big chunks of yards early in the game. Also, it would help if the Ravens suddenly became the St. Louis Rams, although that makes no logical sense.

ESPN: Keys to Beating the Ravens
Looking at the Ravens' worst games this season, the key to stopping their offense seems to be to shut down Ray Rice and the tight ends, counting on the inherent inconsistency of deep passes to produce a number of punts and turnovers. Also, make Joe Flacco throw to his left.

ESPN: Pats' Run Game the Key to Victory
A little bit of a preview of Friday's AFC Championship preview here. The Pats' running attack isn't really better than past years, there's just more of it. It's also the perfect weapon to attack the weaknesses of the Ravens defense.

FO on ESPN: Denver's Window with Manning
Did the Denver Broncos just miss their one shot at a championship with Peyton Manning? Probably not. We put Manning's 2012 campaign into context (turns out it was really good), guesstimate how many more seasons he'll play, and what Denver needs to fix to contend again in 2013.

ESPN: Does Momentum Mean Anything?
Do teams that are hot entering the postseason tend to outperform teams that played well all season long? Evidence seems to suggest that it doesn't matter.

ESPN: Titans Should Cut Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson had a 94-yard run last night. He still shows that dynamic speed when he gets loose. The Titans should cut him after the season anyway. Vince Verhei explains why.

ESPN: Atlanta's Shrinking Title Window
Using a new measure of team age based on snap count data, we show that the Falcons have fielded the oldest team in the league this season. Does the Falcons' relative old age doom their future Super Bowl chances? Age concerns are especially prevalent on defense, and along the offensive line.

ESPN: Is There Hope for Christian Ponder?
The list of quarterbacks with negative DYAR in their first two seasons is a very unhappy list... and Christian Ponder is now on it.
