SCOUTING REPORT Ravens run offense vs. 49ers run defense -- RAVENS The Ravens' physical offensive line presents a heavy challenge for the 49ers. All of the Ravens' linemen are 300-plus pounds, whereas San Francisco doesn't have a starter in its front four over 292 pounds. Jamal Lewis, who entered Week 13 as the league's leading rusher, has gained at least 115 yards in four of his five home games. In their past three road games, the 49ers have given up an average of 203 yards rushing. Outside linebacker Julian Peterson (flu and thigh)

MIAMI -- The Atlanta Falcons' defensive line is made up of a bunch of no-names who are calling themselves the "Bomb Squad," even though virtually nobody noticed.If they shut down the Denver Broncos' Terrell Davis in the Super Bowl, they'll get noticed, but they have been shutting down the run all season.During the regular season, they allowed an average of 75.2 yards per game and 3.33 yards per rush. They were second in the league to the San Diego Chargers in both categories.It's one of the reasons they held opposing teams to 18.1 points a game this season, the fourth-lowest total in the league.
