About this Article

Ray Lewis will end his brilliant 17-year NFL career after the Baltimore Ravens complete their 2013 playoff run. Lewis has been sidelined since Oct. 14 with a torn right triceps. The 13-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker intends to return Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in what will almost certainly be his final home game. "Everything that starts has an end," Lewis said. "For me, today, I told my team that this will be my last ride."
