| he Ravens got well, while the Broncos finally fell. This was a classic case of a team that couldn't afford to lose exhibiting steely focus against an opponent that came to town holding much higher ground. Baltimore is not really 30-7 better than the Denver Broncos, but made sure it pulled out all the stops and finished the job after a three-game losing streak had dropped John Harbaugh's team two games back of the Bengals and Steelers in the AFC North win column.

| Baltimore, MD (MySportsbook) -- Joe Flacco threw for 175 yards and a touchdown, and the Baltimore Ravens used a stifling display on defense to hand the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos a 30-7 loss at M&T Bank Stadium. Flacco connected on 20-of-25 passes -- including his final 14 of the game -- to tie a franchise record for completion percentage, while Ray Rice rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown to help Baltimore (4-3) halt a frustrating three-game losing streak and deal the AFC West-leading Broncos |

| (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.

| Area home. The loss dropped the Raiders - who'd been coming off an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles - to a particularly ugly 2-5, good for third in an AFC West Division that's rapidly becoming the personal playpen of the surprisingly still-unbeaten Denver Broncos at 6-0. Oakland has allowed nearly three points for each one it's scored, saw maddeningly unimpressive quarterback JaMarcus Russell benched in favor of journeyman Bruce Gradkowski against the Jets and only barely escaped further embarrassment when h |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers might want to send a thank-you note to the NFL schedule makers. After bruising losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, the Chargers were handed the perfect get-well remedy: the two worst teams in the AFC West. Last Sunday the Chargers routed the last-place Kansas City Chiefs by 30 points. This Sunday they get a home date with archrival Oakland, and with it the chance to beat the lowly Raiders for the 13th straight time. These are the same Raiders ( |

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.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Sixteen years into a vagabond NFL career that most recently featured a championship season, Mitch Berger has come full circle. The 37-year-old punter had his first practice Wednesday with the Denver Broncos since being signed this week as the replacement for second-year pro Brett Kern, who was waived. It was a homecoming of sorts for the Canadian-born Berger, who starred at the University of Colorado in the early 1990s. ``It's been a long time since I've been back in this area,'' |

Rivers has been able to protect the football, having thrown no interceptions in the last four games, and kept the Chargers a few steps behind the unbeaten Denver Broncos in the AFC West standings. The win at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium came after on a short week of preparation and heavy criticism that came after a costly 34-23 home loss to the Broncos in Week 6.

The Ravens were unable to deal the Minnesota Vikings their first loss of the season back on October 18 -- though the Steelers did knock off the Vikings this past weekend -- and now host the 6-0 Denver Broncos this Sunday. Baltimore lost three straight to take a 3-3 mark into the break and are two games back of first-place Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the standings. The club welcomed a Week 7 break last year after playing 18 straight games a season ago. T |
