The Ravens and Patriots go back at it after Baltimore gave New England all they wanted in the AFC Championship Game, only to come up a Lee Evans non-catch and a Billy Cundiff missed field goal away from the Super Bowl. Torrey Smith will be playing tonight, just like he did in that game, but he will be taking the field under the most difficult of circumstances.

His younger brother, Tevin, died last night in a motorcycle crash. Torrey was very involved in raising his younger brother, and tweeted out after the news: “I can’t believe my little brother is gone…be thankful for your loved ones and tell them you love them…this is the hardest thing ever.”

The crash occurred in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and Torrey left the team to be with his family. He is reportedly going to be back with the team tonight and playing. I don’t know how he’s going to do it.
