Eric Decker has said that the Denver Broncos need to restrict Ray Lewis in their playoff game this weekend.

The Baltimore Ravens linebacker is retiring at the end of the season, having missed much of the campaign with a triceps tear.

The Broncos wide receiver told the team's website: "He's the leader of that team. He's a guy that's played a lot of football, he's won a lot of games.

"He plays it right. We know that we have to take him out of the game. We have to make sure that we block him in the run and pass."

The Broncos had a bye from the wildcard round, while the Ravens beat the Indianapolis Colts.
