Flags flying: The Week 5 matchup was stopped 21 times because of penalties, with Tennessee flagged 10 times for 78 yards and Baltimore called for 11 infractions and 91 yards. Both of these defenses like to play aggressively and challenge the limits of excessive contact, so the way this game is officiated could play a role.
Rest vs. rust: The Titans did not play many of their starters in a 23-0 Week 17 loss at Indianapolis and were on a bye this past weekend. The Ravens, meanwhile, needed a Week 17 win over Jacksonville just to get into the playoffs and then were exposed to the pressure of the postseason at Miami. This debate seems to emerge every season with different results and this confrontation could be the litmus test for 2008.
