Ray Lewis, Warrior

Is there any doubting his greatness?

Ray Lewis Played Five Snaps With Torn Triceps
Film shows Ray Lewis' hanging right arm before he ultimately came off the field.

Play 1 (2:32): Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo throws a short pass to the opposite side of Lewis. Lewis dropped in coverage and wasn’t in on the play. He jogs towards the ball with his right arm hanging.

Play 2 (2:24): Lewis drops in coverage again, shaking his limp right arm slightly as if trying to work out the pain on the move. The pass was away from him and incomplete.

Play 3 (2:13): Lewis blitzes off the left side on another Cowboys pass. He maneuvers through some light traffic using only his left arm and with his right arm dangling by his side. Romo rolled away from Lewis, meaning he again wasn’t involved.

Play 4 (2:08): Lewis calls and points out something to Dannell Ellerbe with his left arm. He looks to be running a stunt, but doesn’t engage because Romo quickly dumps the ball into the flats.

Play 5 (2:01): The Cowboys finally run the ball. Tanner takes the handoff behind his pulling right guard, who blocks Ellerbe in the hole. It’s Tanner one-on-one with Lewis. Lewis comes across the line and careens into the 217-pound running back. Lewis grabs Tanner around his back with his left arm and spins to the turf. He tries to protect his right arm behind his back and ends up making the tackle one-armed.

Ellerbe said Lewis told him in the huddle a couple plays before leaving the field that he was injured. Lewis thought he dislocated his shoulder and Ellerbe told him to get medical help.

Lewis responded: "Nah, I can’t now.”

"It just shows he’ll live and die for this game,” Ellerbe said.
