Quarterback Joe Flacco acknowledged this week that he¿s annoyed by his 13 interceptions and knows that he needs to play better.

A couple of familiar faces will return to M&T Bank Stadium this weekend, but straits are too dire for the Ravens to focus on getting reacquainted with New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and free safety Ed Reed.

Dean Pees, in his words, had the dubious honor of being the first NFL defensive coordinator to watch an opponent prey on his defense with the wildcat offense.

A roundup of NFL experts' picks for Sunday's game between the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets.

The Baltimore Sun's experts make their predictions for the Week 12 game between the Ravens and New York Jets at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Ravens¿ defensive game plan could revolve around trying to confuse Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith, who¿s become a turnover machine during a rocky introduction to the NFL.

The Jets are a team built to play with a lead, so it's not surprising that their game against the Bills turned into a total Dumpster fire when they fell behind by 20 points in the first half.

All but labeled a bust and given up on through the first couple of games, Ravens third-year cornerback Jimmy Smith has been one of the defense's best and most improved players.

For Sunday¿s game against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, Jason Campbell steps under center to start an NFL regular-season game for the first time since 2011.

In their second year under offensive coordinator Todd Haley, the Steelers remain a pass-oriented team.

The case can be made that there is no shame in losing a game by two points to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, but it would to be hard to find a good lawyer to argue it.

The Baltimore Ravens haven't been clicking on deep balls this season, but Joe Flacco and the offense will get an opportunity to get their deep passing attack going Sunday against the banged-up Buffalo Bills.

In this week's Blogger on Blogger post, Matt Vensel exchanged emails with Brian Galliford, who blogs about the Buffalo Bills for Buffalo Rumblings. The Baltimore Ravens travel to Buffalo to play the Bills this weekend.

Each week, Baltimore Sun reporters Aaron Wilson and Matt Vensel will look back at the Ravens' previous game and that of their next opponent.

In their first game with "Pride 2.0" hand-painted helmets and "no-grab" Under Armour fabric, Maryland had six takeaways in a 37-0 victory over West Virginia (2-2) at M&T Bank Stadium.

As the Terps (3-0) prepared to play West Virginia (2-1) Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium, the hope among their coaches was that a new era has begun in Maryland's relationship with Gilman and other Baltimore schools.

Maryland leads the nation in sacks with 4.67 per game. Linebacker Marcus Whitfield has 5.5 sacks. Maryland's challenge will be slowing down West Virginia's spread offense without injured cornerbacks Dexter McDougle and Jeremiah Johnson.

At 3-0, the Maryland Terrapins football team has built confidence heading into its game against West Virginia at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Saturday.

In eager anticipation of the 2013 NFL season, Matt Vensel of The Baltimore Sun will take a daily look at one of the 13 opponents on the Baltimore Ravens' schedule. Today's team is the New York Jets.

The Jets released quarterback Tim Tebow this morning after one unproductive season in New York.

Every year ESPN zeros in on one player who was expected to go in the first round and doesn't. It really is unnecessary.

Baltimore Sun reporter Don Markus and editor Matt Bracken weigh in on the three biggest topics of the past week in Maryland sports.

Given that the Ravens have made a trade in the first round of the draft five times in the past seven years, most fans are well aware there is a chance the team could trade out of the first round again Thursday night.

The NFL's annual pre-draft meat market wraps up Tuesday, but one of the players generating the most buzz at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis was former Dunbar star Tavon Austin. His 4.34 in the 40-yard dash Sunday validated the gigabytes of electrifying game tape the wide receiver compiled at West Virginia. Will he be there when the Ravens pick?
