NFL Playoff Picks: Why Ray Lewis Will Dominate Houston Texans' Running Game

Ray Lewis leads one of the toughest run defenses in the league, and he will make sure Arian Foster does not bust loose.

The Houston Texans live and die by their running game. Foster is one of the best backs in the league, and the offensive line makes sure he has holes to run through.

On Sunday, those holes will be clogged by Lewis and other members of the Baltimore Ravens defense. Lewis is one of the most dynamic linebackers in NFL history, and he isn't ready to lose this playoff game.

The Ravens have the second-best rush defense in the NFL, and they'll be sure to keep Foster under wraps. He may be talented, but Foster won't be able to go anywhere on Sunday.

Lewis understands that this could be his final run at a Super Bowl, and he won't go down easily. The Ravens have the best team they've had in about a decade, and they are in a great position to win the whole thing.

They need to start by beating the Texans.

The Ravens have had a week to rest and relax, and now they're ready to go.

Even though they haven't had too many injuries, the Ravens have been able to ensure everyone is 100 percent before they begin their playoff run. With everyone healthy, they have a huge advantage.

The Texans' offense is far from healthy, which has turned them into an extremely one-dimensional team. As a result, Lewis will be able to commit to the run plays, preventing Foster from having a big day.

Lewis will be psyched up for this game, the Ravens are much more healthy and the Texans are one-dimensional.

Accordingly, Lewis and the Ravens will dominate the Texans and their running game.
