Gary Kubiak has said that the Baltimore Ravens must get behind Ray Rice in 2014.

The running back was hindered with injuries in 2013, managing just 660 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

The Ravens' new offensive coordinator told the team's official website: "I think as he goes, we'll go. Our goal is to get him going, and he's excited to get going and put last year behind him.

"We've just got to get him going, doing what he does best, and that's us studying him and fitting him with our system and those type of things. We've got to get Ray going. That's the bottom line.

"I think in this league nowadays you need a couple of guys. It's hard to hand it to one guy 30 times a game, they just get worn down. It'll take both of them. They're very talented and if we can get both of them going, the better we'll be."

The Ravens were unable to defend their Super Bowl title after missing out on a place in the playoffs.
