Reed lights path to Ravens' playoff bid
CLEVELAND — Ed Reed was on fire, and not because of his two interceptions. Trying to cope on a biting, blustery day, Baltimore's star safety moved too close to a sideline heater and had his oversized jacket ignite.
"Someone yelled, 'Reed, you're on fire,' " he said.
There was no panic, no alarm. The Ravens were moments away from a playoff-clinching win.
Reed laughed. "I just took it off," he said, smiling.
Reed picked off rookie Colt McCoy twice and damaged Browns bruising running back Peyton Hillis with a hard hit on Cleveland's second play as the Ravens clinched a postseason berth and stayed tied atop the AFC North.
Joe Flacco threw two touchdowns, Ray Lewis and the rest of Baltimore's tenacious defense backed up some pregame trash talk by bottling up Hillis and the Ravens remained tied with Pittsburgh with one game left.
It was a typical day for Reed, the five-time Pro Bowler who raised his career interception total to 52.
