Reed will get Manning's attention

Amidst all of the moving and shuffling the Ravens defense will likely do in an attempt to confuse Peyton Manning, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback said the one player he will be tracking is free safety Ed Reed.

"Well, you have to know where he is on the field," said Manning as he prepares for the AFC Divisional playoff game between the Ravens and the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night. "He has a great knack for the football. He covers a lot of ground. They said he was possibly injured before the game. You sure didn’t see that on Sunday the way he was flying around. He can cover so much ground. You definitely have to factor in where he is on every single play."

Manning speaks from experience. Although Manning is 7-2 against the Ravens – including 7 straight wins after a 0-2 start – Reed has nabbed three of the seven interceptions Manning has thrown against the Ravens in their last four meetings.

Reed missed four games due to a strained groin, but pulled down an interception in the Ravens’ 33-14 rout of the New England Patriots last Sunday.
