Tune in at 4:25 PM ET as the Giants take on the Ravens. Gino Bottero will be liveblogging for your enjoyment.
Welcome everyone! I'll be live blogging today's game between the Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants.
Let's get right to the injuries. Ahmad Bradshaw, Hakeem Nicks, Torrey Smith, Terrell Suggs, and Ed Reed are all ACTIVE.
Notable inactives for the Giants include defensive end Justin Tuck and safety Kenny Phillips.
Notable inactives for the Ravens include wide receiver Tandon Doss and safety Bernard Pollard.
Looking across the league, here are some other injury notes that will impact the late games. Trent Richardson, Knowshon Moreno, Brandon Marshall, and Eric Decker are all ACTIVE.
The Ravens have won three of the four all-time meetings between these teams, including a 34-7 win in Super Bowl XXXV.
The Giants will clinch at least a wild card spot with wins in their final two games.
The Ravens have won 20 of their last 23 games in Baltimore.
They're about ready to begin in Baltimore. The Giants will start with the football.
15:00 No return on the kick.
Eli Manning and the Giant offense will begin at their 20 yard line.
14:51 Manning threw right for Nicks but the pass was broken up. On 2nd, Bradshaw ran left for a gain of 3. 3rd and 7 coming up.
14:09 FLAG - Ellerbe jumps the snap and takes down Manning instantly.

13:44 Bradshaw takes the direct snap and rolls out to the right, tries to gain the edge but was taken down for a loss.
13:04 Baltimore returned the punt to their 28 yard line.
Joe Flacco and the Raven offense will begin from there.
12:31 Flacco hit Boldin to the right for a gain of 5, then Rice ran a stretch play to the left for a gain of 4. 3rd and 1 coming up.
12:24 Flacco rolled left on an option play, flipped the ball to Rice and he gained 14 to midfield.

9:40 Pierce ran up the middle for a gain of 5, then on 2nd, Pierce took the ball up the middle, bounced off the wall of defenders and broke around the right edge for a gain of 18 to the NYG 17.
They need to win out to make the playoffs. What should they save him for?
9:10 Flacco threw to the endzone for Jones but the pass was out of his reach. On 2nd, Rice ran up the middle for a gain of 5. 3rd and 5 coming up.
8:31 TURNOVER - Flacco hit Jones to the right for a gain of 7, the ball came out as he went to the ground and New York recovered.
Jones came away limping as his leg bent awkwardly as he went to the ground.
Replay shows Jones' knee was down before the ball came out. The play will be automatically reviewed and the ball should go back to the Ravens.
