TAMPA, Fla. — During his media day session Tuesday, Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis spelled out the five goals he had coming into the season.

Giants vs. Ravens 6 p.m. Sunday AP coverage

        5. “To be a spiritual leader.”

        4. “To be a great father to my kids.”

        3. “Go to the playoffs.”

        2. “Win defensive player of the year.”

        1. “Go to the Super Bowl.”

        “And, right now, every one of them was accomplished,” he said. “Every year, you set goals, and you set goals so high, and you think you fail yourself, but when I accomplished them, I think you can pat yourself on the back and let yourself know your work in the offseason paid off.”
