Their beaten opponent has a better chance of doing it next season. San Francisco running back Frank Gore insisted the 49ers were the more talented team even after losing 34-31 to the Ravens in Sunday's Super Bowl. The scoreboard said otherwise, but when the conference champions meet ...

After two passes went awry, Lewis charged up the middle on a blitz. The Rav...

Baltimore must brace for the unexpected on every snap in Sunday's Super Bowl. There's flashy Michael Crabtree on the edges and Vernon Davis down the middle, Frank Gore and L...

Not because the Baltimore Ravens linebacker thinks the magazine report linking him to a company that purports to make performance-enhancers will affect his play or that of his teammates against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl — the final game of a 17-year NFL career that most assume will earn him a spo...

Now relegated to a backup role with the NFC champions, Smith's trip to the Big Easy this week...

Now, the Giants might just get that very chance with the NFC champion Niners headed to New Orleans to face ...
