[url="http://www.nfl.com/player/raylewis/2501750/profile"]Ray Lewis[/url]' long and storied NFL career is coming to an end.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
The [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL"]Baltimore Ravens[/url] linebacker informed teammates and coaches Wednesday that [url="http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2013010600/2012/POST18/colts@ravens"]Sunday's playoff meeting [/url]with the [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/indianapoliscolts/profile?team=IND"]Indianapolis Colts[/url] will mark [url="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/286519268626022402"]his final game at M&T Bank Stadium[/url], and he will retire at the end of the season.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
The seven-time All-Pro and 12-time [url="http://www.nfl.com/probowl"]Pro Bowl[/url] selection [url="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/286517207914123264"]didn't say if he would play[/url] Sunday, but Lewis confirmed he's physically ready to take the field. Lewis was activated late last month, but he hasn't played in a game since he tore his triceps during [url="http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2012101406/2012/REG6/cowboys@ravens"]a Week 6 win[/url] over the [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/dallascowboys/profile?team=DAL"]Dallas Cowboys[/url]."This will be my last ride," [url="https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/286518450040496128"]Lewis said[/url].[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
NFL.com's Albert Breer cited two sources who were in the room in reporting that Lewis addressed his [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL"]Ravens[/url]teammates Wednesday. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and MVP of [url="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/47"]Super Bowl[/url] XXXV rose to his feet and spoke about playing for one other and the bond between teammates before announcing his plans to retire.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
"Unreal. Very inspiring. There's no one like him, man," one observer texted Breer.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
"I can't picture Baltimore without him," running back [url="http://www.nfl.com/player/rayrice/941/profile"]Ray Rice[/url] later said.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
Linebacker [url="http://www.nfl.com/player/terrellsuggs/2505660/profile"]Terrell Suggs[/url] added: "It's amazing and it's sad all at the same time."[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
With 227 starts since being drafted by the [url="http://www.nfl.com/teams/baltimoreravens/profile?team=BAL"]Ravens[/url] in the first round of the 1996 [url="http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013"]NFL Draft[/url], Lewis is the beating heart of this organization and its most vocal in Baltimore's quest to return to the [url="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/47"]Super Bowl[/url].[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
"Everything I've done is to make another run at the Lombardi," Lewis said Wednesday.[/font][/color][color=#222221][font=arial, verdana, helvetica]
His final chance -- and our last look at this future [url="http://www.profootballhof.com/"]Hall of Fame[/url]r -- begins Sunday.[/font][/color]
