OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -Baltimore Ravens return specialist B.J. Sams is out for the season with a torn knee ligament. Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden's status is unknown due to a lingering hyperextended left big toe, coach Brian Billick said. ``B.J. is definitely out for the year,'' Billick said Tuesday night on his weekly WBAL radio show. ``It's just a shame.'' Sams, in the final year of his contract, tore the anterior cruciate ligament. He is likely to be replaced by rookie Yamon Figurs. Thi |

| (MySportsbook) - It was a nightmare from which the Baltimore Ravens nearly awoke. The franchise's three most identifiable and arguably most important players - quarterback Steve McNair, left tackle Jonathan Ogden, and linebacker Ray Lewis - were standing on the sideline along with head coach Brian Billick. It was late in the fourth quarter, and Baltimore had already turned the football over five times. The Ravens, who had just been burned by an indefensible offensive pass interference call on Todd Heap, were |

| (MySportsbook) - The offense of the Baltimore Ravens tried its best to give Cincinnati a win in its opener Monday night. When that failed, the officials effectively tried to gift wrap the victory for them. That didn't work either, but when Ravens tight end Todd Heap failed to hold a rocket of a pass from backup quarterback Kyle Boller in the waning moments, the Bengals had finally been coerced into accepting a 27-20 win that helped kick off their season at 1-0. Despite committing five turnovers in the game's |

| Cincinnati, OH (MySportsbook) - Defensive tackle Michael Myers' interception in the end zone with just over a minute to play in the fourth quarter sealed the win for Cincinnati, as the Bengals forced six turnovers to beat the Baltimore Ravens, 27-20, in a wild season-opener for both teams. With Cincinnati leading by a touchdown late in the fourth, Rudi Johnson coughed up the ball deep in the Bengals' territory and Baltimore recovered on the 24-yard line with just under five minutes to play.

CINCINNATI (AP) -Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis hurt his upper right arm on his first tackle Monday night, forcing him off the field while the Cincinnati Bengals scored their first touchdown. The 32-year-old linebacker leveled receiver T.J. Houshmandazeh after he caught a 12-yard pass on the Bengals' second play of the game. Lewis got up holding his arm in pain. He finished the series, then came to the sideline and got a stretch wrap applied to his upper arm. Lewis played the next series, but shie |

CINCINNATI (AP) -Marvin Lewis called the hot-shot rookie linebacker into his office and challenged him to become a leader long before anyone had a right to expect it. What choice did he have? It was July 1996. The Baltimore Ravens had just released veteran linebacker Pepper Johnson, expected to be the leader of an up-and-coming defense. So defensive coordinator Lewis decided he might as well challenge the first-round draft pick to grow up fast. Ray Lewis had just turned 21. He didn't expect this. ``M |

Lewis signed a one-year deal with the Browns in the offseason after torturing them annually as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. He spent his previous seven years in the league with Baltimore and rushed for 1,132 yards with nine touchdowns on 314 carries last season. Lewis will certainly make an impact in Cleveland.
