The Ravens' Super Bowl run continues to get bogged down by questions about a limping Joe Flacco after his 34 passing yards Sunday at New England tied an NFL record for the fewest in a playoff victory during the Super Bowl era (since 1966) and reinforced concerns that injuries are affecting the quarterback's performance. A day after the Ravens' jubilant 33-14 win, the persistent inquiries about Flacco's hip-quadriceps injury finally struck a nerve with the Ravens' head coach. "He is very much healthy enough to play and to play well," John Harbaugh said before taking an ornery attitude. "The more you guys [the media] want to make of the injury situation, that's great. Make it really dire. He's really in bad shape." Flacco's injury won't affect the Ravens' game plan, according to offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. "I refuse to let my mind go anywhere other than Joe's 100 percent," Cameron said. "I can't. This is playoff football. Joe is tough. You might be 80 percent during the week, but you find a way to go 100 percent on game day. That's just the way it is. That's my expectation for him, that's his expectation for himself, and that's not going to change until he retires. As long as he and I are together, my expectation is the same as his - when the game shows up, you find a way to be 100 percent and you go play ball." Source: Baltimore Sun
