There have been a lot of people looking forward to the Baltimore Ravens’ game against the Giants since coach Brian Daboll hired Wink Martindale to run New York’s defense in early February.
It was going to be grudge match. It was Martindale against Ravens coach John Harbaugh, the man who fired him on Jan. 21 after 10 seasons in Baltimore, the last four as defensive coordinator.
The story line has not panned out. Harbaugh and Martindale have said this week their parting was by mutual agreement. Martindale went so far as to say he needed a change.
