The Chiefs are one of the surprise teams of the 2010 playoffs, while the Ravens have become a regular member of the playoffs. Here's a look at how the two offensive and defensive lines break down by the numbers.The Ravens don't have as many sacks as you might expect -- they were tied for 27th in the league in sacks during the regular season. Terrell Suggs (11 sacks) and Haloti Ngata (5.5 sacks) are two solid pass rushers, but the rest of the front seven have struggled to generate pressure. Thanks to Tamba Hali and a talented front four, the Chiefs have had more luck getting to quarterbacks.

On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs have done a better job of protecting the quarterback than the Ravens.

Branden Albert, the Chiefs left tackle, has struggled in recent weeks. Six of his eight sacks allowed have come in the last four games.

For the Ravens, Michael Oher is the most famous Baltimore lineman, but he's not their best. Oher has struggled at times with edge rushers, while the interior of the Ravens' line, led by Matt Birk, is quite solid.
