| Owings Mills, MD (MySportsbook) - Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was fined by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet blow to Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Ochocinco during last week's home loss to the surprising Bengals. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter as Ochocinco meandered across the middle of the field. The forceful hit dislodged the receiver's helmet and resulted in a unnecessary roughness infraction. The drive culminated in a game-winning touchdown pass from Carson Palmer to Andre Caldwell. |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -The NFL has fined Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis for a helmet-to-helmet hit delivered to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco. The play came in the fourth quarter of Baltimore's 17-14 loss on Sunday. Lewis hit Ochocinco after a pass from Carson Palmer sailed incomplete, and the 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness helped set up the winning touchdown with 22 seconds remaining. Asked Wednesday if he expected to be fined, Lewis replied, ``Probably.'' The amount of |

| ck Steve McNair's funeral on a steamy July day in Hattiesburg, Miss. ``Way to fight, warrior,'' is the way Lewis remembers it. When Favre, the Minnesota Vikings' ageless quarterback, lines up under center on Sunday and locks eyes with Lewis, the Baltimore Ravens' fire-breathing middle linebacker, it will be like looking into a mirror in more ways than one. Favre and Lewis bare no resemblance to each other from a physical standpoint. But when viewed through a football prism, the similarities are striking.< |

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -There's only one thing left for the Baltimore Ravens to do after Cedric Benson ended their streak of 39 straight games without allowing a 100-yard rusher. ``Start another one. That's what you do,'' linebacker Ray Lewis said. ``It's not like a free throw, man. Some days you're on, some days you're going to miss. You just move on. The thing for us is to just go back and have fun.'' The Ravens' next assignment - stopping Adrian Peterson of the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings - appears to |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -Matt Birk is coming back to Minnesota. After growing up in the capital city of St. Paul, it's strange for Birk to be a visitor in his home state. That's exactly what he'll be on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens play the Vikings at the Metrodome. Birk played 11 seasons for Minnesota and was picked for six Pro Bowls. The 33-year-old center signed with Baltimore in March, citing the challenge and a desire for a fresh start as reasons for his decision. Birk lost the opportunity |

Given that scenario, you might not have been too surprised to see Minnesota come out listless. However, though the Vikings didn't play anything close to a perfect game and gave up plenty of yards along the way, Mi |

| Baltimore, MD (MySportsbook) - The Baltimore Ravens signed wide receiver David Tyree on Tuesday and released tight end Tony Curtis. Tyree, whose amazing catch in Super Bowl XLII ranks as one of the indelible images in league history, was released by the Giants prior to the season. The 29-year-old, who toiled in relative obscurity before making the catch that helped New York stun the Patriots on Feb. 3, 2008, missed all of last season due to a knee injury. He was attempting to make the roster as a backup rece |

Surely, these Bengals stood no chance versus the powerful Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday. But one 17-14 road victory later, and Cincinnati has finally captured the league's attention. The script was the same; Palmer to Caldwell for the game-winning score, this time with only 22 seconds left. You would think a victory li |

| Baltimore, MD (MySportsbook) - Carson Palmer threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Andre Caldwell with 22 seconds to play in the fourth quarter, complementing a sterling effort by an emotional Bengals defense in a 17-14 upset of the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. The play from Palmer to Caldwell was the culmination of an 11-play, 80-yard drive that was extended by three Baltimore penalties, including a personal foul for Ray Lewis on a pass attempt to Chad Ochocinco over the middle of the field, and a |

Zimmer's defense fueled the Bengals' 17-14 upset of the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and Zimmer was at M&T Bank Stadium to preside over the unit just three days after the tragic and sudden passing of his wife, Vikki. Zimmer's son and daughter were also in Baltimore to root on their dad. In honor of Vikki Zimmer, we'll |
