| (MySportsbook) - Defense has been the Baltimore Ravens' calling card during a decade that has seen the team garner its fair share of success. The Denver Broncos are beginning to establish a reputation for superiority on that side of the ball as well. The surprising Broncos will put an unblemished record on the line in this Sunday's visit to M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens will be poised to put an end to a frustrating three-game losing streak. Denver's 6-0 start under the leadership of a new head coach |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Brian Dawkins fires up his teammates with frenzied and feverish dance moves before games. So does Ray Lewis. The Denver Broncos safety sets the tone on the field through big plays and bone-rattling hits. Same with the Baltimore Ravens linebacker. Dawkins and Lewis are made from a similar mold - two highly intense players who thrive on always being in the middle of things. Every elite defense needs one.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

| there and I'm happy to be back.'' The Broncos are counting on Berger, who joined his 12th NFL team since being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994, to steady their punting game. He'll make his debut Sunday, when the Broncos (6-0) visit the Baltimore Ravens (3-3). Kern had the 10th-best punting average (46.1 yards) in the league, but struggled with his directional game. He put an NFL-high six of his 27 punts into the end zone for touchbacks, a no-no for coach Josh McDaniels, who places a high premium |

The 3-3 Ravens take on the undefeated Broncos this Sunday. "They're a good defensive team," Gaither said on the team's site. "We're just going to go out and do what we do best. I'm sure they'll have a couple of schemes ready for us. They had a bye just like us to prepare, so we'll be ready for them." Safety Ed Reed (illness) and lineba |

Then again, maybe it isn't just the flu that is making the players ill. RAVENS: At least the Baltimore Ravens got a week off in between their contests against undefeated opponents.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -For much of the past decade, the Baltimore Ravens strived to create an offense capable of matching the swagger of a defense that annually ranks among the best in the NFL. The Ravens finally have that kind of attack. In their second season under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice have carried a unit that ranks seventh in total yardage and is averaging a robust 28.2 points per game. The defense, however, has been uncharacteristically |

The latest decidedly Favre-ian moment came with 2:59 in the fourth quarter, just after the Vikings had watched a 27-10 fourth-quarter lead morph into a 31-30 Baltimore Ravens lead after a 33-yard touchdown run by Ray Rice. On a 2nd-and-6 play from the Minnesota 24, Favre spotted wideout Sidney Rice running in single coverage with hopelessly overmatched Baltimore cornerback Frank Walker down the right side of the field.

The sixth overall pick broke a bone in his left foot two days after ending a contract holdout in training camp. RAVENS: If you had told the Baltimore Ravens after their Week 3 win over Cleveland, a 34-3 rout that improved the club to 3-0, that they would be back to .500 by their bye week, they wouldn't have believed you.
