Jim Leonhard and the Baltimore Ravens are one victory away from playing in Super Bowl 43 in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, February 1st. And for the second straight playoff game, the Tony, Wisconsin native made several key plays that helped the Ravens advance to the AFC Championship game to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Baltimore Sun reported in Sunday's newspapers that Leonhard suffered a concussion on the most important play of the day for the Ravens defense. Leonhard helped cause this fumble by Tennessee tight end Alge Crumpler when it appeared that the Titans were poised to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Leonhard told the Baltimore Sun that he doesn't remember much of that play except that he saw Crumpler catch the ball and broke on it. Jim did not return to the game after suffering his injury.
