PITTSBURGH — Their styles may be polar opposites, but Ray Lewis and James Farrior still share much in common.

They’re inside linebackers who can still make plays even at age 35.

They’re spiritual leaders and captains for two of the stingiest defenses in the National Football League.

And they love when their teams get together in one of the most intense rivalries in pro sports.

On Sunday, Lewis will lead the charge for the Baltimore Ravens (2-1) while Farrior will try to help the Pittsburgh Steelers improve to 4-0 for the first time since 1979.

Really good article that shows the respect the two have for each other.

I know Farrior is praying he doesn't have to cover Ray Rice on Sunday.

Don't know bout all of that, Farrior is good but Ray is way better talent wise, Ray will be in the Hall.

Farrior is playing very well this year so far, he and the rest of the defense have elevated their game. James is a leader by example, he doesn't dance and scream and throw a fit but he still makes the plays as a defensive capt.
