'First down gets to second down, second down gets to third down, third down gets to fourth down and fourth down, then after fourth down we get off the field!' he screamed. He leaned in toward them and waved his hands. He stood in those few yards of green before the end zone yelling at his teammates. As long as Ray Lewis was around, the Ravens were going to be about defense.ДЄnd so on a night that quarterback Joe Flacco would throw for 287 yards and three touchdowns and Jacoby Jones would catch a 56-yard touchdown pass and run a kickoff back 108 yards for another score, Baltimore needed its defense one final time. How could he not be? Lewis has stormed through meetings and huddles, delivering outlandish pregame speeches that have made men cry. Much of this mentality came from Ray Lewis, who might be the only defensive player in the NFL who is his team's unequivocal leader. Even as the seasons have passed and the old defensive stars drifted away to retirement or other teams, Baltimore has been about defense.

Defense won them their first Super Bowl in the 2000 season and then won them dozens of games over the 12 years since.

It is fitting that defense would win this Super Bowl for the Ravens. 'If we went down, we were going to go down fighting,' he said. He would have realized his vindication even before Kaepernick heaved the ball. He would have determined the pass was too long and too far. If Pees was watching the surge, he would have seen that Kaepernick had no chance against Cable. Both had clean shots at the passer before them. Linebacker Dannell Ellerbe raced through on the other side. Defensive tackle Arthur Jones slapped the center on the side and slipped past him toward Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick. 'It's a darn good blitz,' he said following the Ravens' 34-31 victory over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.ДЄnd on Sunday the Ravens ran it to perfection. Just like that fateful night against the Giants he called Cable. Now in the Superdome, with the roar of 71,024 thundering down, first down had become second, then third and now fourth. Oh, how they killed Pees in New England for calling that blitz. Burress made a double move then jumped high in the air to grab the pass. Only that night Giants receiver Plaxico Burress beat Ellis Hobbs, the cornerback covering him, for a touchdown. Back then, the Patriots held a four-point lead on the New York Giants. Five years ago, as the defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, Pees called the same blitz in the waning seconds of the Super Bowl.
