Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s early games

DET @ MIA Start: Calvin Johnson You have to. If you’re in the Championship, Calvin is one of the guys that got you there. Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games.

What has happened to Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice? Rice looked poised to have a phenomenal season in 2010 after 2009, especially with the additions the Ravens made to their receiving corps.
