Ed Reed looking for No. 50

Ed Reed's daring interception returns are about to place the Ravens' Pro Bowl safety in elite company. He already has 49 picks for 1,319 return yards, an average of 26.9 per return.

When he gets No. 50, he will become the fourth player in NFL history with 50 picks to average at least 20 yards per return.

Deion Sanders averaged 25.1 return yards on his 53 interceptions. Darren Sharper of the Saints is averaging 22.4 on 63 interceptions. And Rod Woodson averaged 20.9 on 71 interceptions.

Going into Thursday's game in Atlanta, Reed needs just 13 return yards to pass Sanders (1,331) for third place on the all-time list, as well. The Falcons are honoring Sanders at halftime of the game.
