BALTIMORE - Mired in a two-game losing streak and stuck in last place, the Baltimore Ravens broke out their old recipe for success to earn a much-needed victory.The Ravens have long relied on a strong running game and a suffocating defence to win, and that was precisely the formula Baltimore used to beat the Tennessee Titans 21-7 Sunday.Justin Forsett ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns to back a redemptive performance by the Baltimore defence that produced two turnovers, five sacks and plenty of helmet-ringing hits.The catalyst was really our defence, obviously, coach John Harbaugh said.The Ravens (6-4) repeatedly harassed rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who went 16 for 27 for 179 yards and an interception in his first road start in the NFL. He rarely got the chance to comfortably plant both feet in the pocket and was unable to move the offence after the first quarter.They got a lot of dudes, they got a lot of studs in that front seven — and they know it, Mettenberger said. Early in the first half we did a lot of good things to kind of counteract their guys. We just got to ... be able to play like that for 60 minutes.Tennessee didnt get its initial first down of the second half until 4:37 was left in the game. Soon after that, newcomer Danny Gorrer intercepted a pass to clinch it for the Ravens.Going into the bye, you want to feel good about things and get back on track, tight end Owen Daniels said. It was huge for us today.After the game, the Ravens complained that a CBS camera crew aired Harbaughs comments to the team in the locker room.The comments made by John Harbaugh in the locker room following todays victory over the Titans were meant for Ravens players and coaches only, Ravens Senior Vice-President Kevin Byrne said. The CBS-TV crew that was in the locker room was told by Coach Harbaugh that it could not broadcast what he was about to say.Byrne said CBS-TV immediately pulled the video and apologized to the Ravens.It was a bounce-back performance by a defence that was embarrassed seven days earlier in a 43-23 loss to Pittsburgh. In that game, Ben Roethlisberger threw for 340 yards and six touchdowns.In this one, the Ravens limited Tennessee to just 68 yards after the first quarter.Once we kind of got settled in and figured everything out, we did what we had to do, Baltimore defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan said.The Titans (2-7) have lost seven of eight. It was 7-all at halftime, but Tennessee had three three-and-outs in the third quarter while the Ravens took control.Tennessee had seven possessions without a first down and finished with a meagre 210 yards in offence.Coach Ken Whisenhunt didnt blame it all on Mettenberger.He did some good things today, made some good throws, Whisenhunt said. I think he did a nice job of operating today in this environment, which is not easy. But obviously, we have to be more productive.The Titans lost tight end Delanie Walker in the second quarter with a concussion. Walker, who came in tied for the team lead with 35 catches, got his hands on a pass and was turning upfield when struck high and hard by Terrence Brooks.The Ravens believe that hit made a lasting impression.I think the key play was when (Walker) was turned up, linebacker Elvis Dumervil said. You dont want to hurt a guy, but it was an aggressive, clean hit. It really made guys kind of think about running back there.Joe Flacco completed 16 of 27 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown for the Ravens, but the key was Forsett, who averaged 5.6 yards on his 20 carries.Baltimore went ahead for the first time with 5:36 left in the third quarter when Forsett scored on an 11-yard run to make it 14-7. Flacco went 5 for 5 on the 11-play, 72-yard drive.After the Titans failed to respond, Flacco hit Torrey Smith for a 32-yard touchdown with 13:09 left.The Ravens made only five first downs and were held to 86 yards in the first half.Tennessee took the opening kickoff and held the ball for more than eight minutes before Shonn Greene lost a fumble on third-and-goal at the Baltimore 1.After the Ravens went three and out, Mettenberger capped a nine-play drive with a 3-yard pass to Leon Washington. It was only the second time this season the Titans scored a touchdown in the first quarter.At that point, Tennessee had a 142-8 advantage in total yardage.Baltimore pulled even with a touchdown on its third possession. On a fourth-and-1 from the Tennessee 9,. Forsett took a pitchout and sprinted around Kamerion Wimbley into the end zone.Forsett earned the starting job after Ray Rice received an indefinite suspension from the NFL for domestic abuse. Now in his eighth season, Forsett has already reached career highs in yards (721), carries (133) and touchdowns (5).Its been a dream come true, just to get the opportunity to come out here and play and show what I can do, he said.NOTES: Titans RB Dexter McCluster left in the first quarter with a knee injury. ...

Cheap Nike Shoes From China . Azarenka needed exactly one hour in a 6-1, 6-0 rout of Austrian Yvonne Meusburger to start the night session at Laver Arena. Sharapova had a much easier time earlier in the day with cooler conditions and took full advantage in 6-1, 7-6 (8-6) win over Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, while Radwanska had to rally for a 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.ATLANTA - After being suspended for Clevelands first 10 games, Josh Gordon had no trouble remembering how to play the game.Fortunately for the Browns, Brian Hoyer was able to forget some costly mistakes.Gordon turned in a huge performance in his first game of the season, catching eight passes for 120 yards, and Hoyer shook off three interceptions to lead a drive in the final minute that set up Billy Cundiffs 37-yard field goal as time expired Sunday, giving the Browns a 26-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.I knew the guys werent going to quit on me, Gordon said. I definitely wasnt going to quit on them.Taking advantage of the last of Hoyers picks, the Falcons drove for Matt Bryants 53-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to seize the lead.Turns out, they left too much time on the clock.Hoyer completed four straight passes, including a 24-yarder to Gordon down the middle of the field. The last of the throws went to Miles Austin, who took it to the Falcons 19. The Browns (7-4) hustled to the line, spiked the ball with 5 seconds left, and sent on Cundiff for his fourth field goal of the game.Nothing to lose, really, Hoyer said. Go out and play fearless. Thats all I have at that point.After serving his punishment for violating the leagues substance abuse policy, Gordon started for Cleveland and was targeted a game-high 16 times.How did I hold up? Pretty good, he said. The adrenalin will keep you going.The Falcons (4-7) came in on a two-game winning streak and improbably tied for first with New Orleans in the woeful NFC South.With another fourth-quarter meltdown, Atlanta dropped to 0-7 against teams outside its division.Georgia native Isaiah Crowell scored a pair of touchdowns for the Browns, but it was Gordon who had the biggest impact.His longest catch was the last one, taking the Browns to the Atlanta 45. Hoyer followed with a 15-yard completion to tight end Gary Barnidge, who bounced off a couple of tacklers to pick up some extra yards. Austins 11-yard reception gave Cundiff an easy look.All we had to do was keep them from kicking that field goal, Falcons linebacker Paul Worrilow said. Youve got to make a play at that point.Cundiff also hit from 33, 37, and 32 yards.Hoyer, who was 23 of 400 for 322 yards, nearly gave it away for the Browns.dddddddddddd The first of his picks turned the momentum in Atlantas favour, leading to a touchdown that put the Falcons ahead 14-13 at halftime when it looked as though Cleveland might have a commanding lead.In the fourth quarter, the Browns had first-and-goal at the Atlanta 6 and a chance to make it a two-score game when Hoyer, after scrambling out of trouble, inexplicably threw it up for Gordon in the back of the end zone instead of just tossing it away. Desmond Trufant made a leaping interception to keep Clevelands lead at 23-21.Atlanta was forced to punt with just under 4 minutes left, and Hoyer made another huge mistake. This time, he floated a deep pass down the sideline, only vaguely in Gordons direction, and Dezmen Southward came up with his first career interception.Im so disappointed in myself right now, Hoyer said. Thats not how I play. I dont throw dumb interceptions.Matt Ryan guided the Falcons into Bryants range, but there were again clock-management issues for a team that blew a game against Detroit by not running off enough time in the closing minutes.On third-and-2 at the Cleveland 35, Ryans pass was batted down to stop the clock.The Browns had enough time to win it.Crowell, who spent one troubled year at the University of Georgia before being kicked off the team, scored on runs of 11 and 26 yards.Ryan threw for 273 yards and a pair of TDs, going to Julio Jones on a 24-yarder and Jacquizz Rodgers from 8 yards. Steven Jackson scored Atlantas other TD on a 1-yard run, giving the Falcons a shot after the Browns dominated the third quarter for a 23-14 lead.Ryan also had an interception and a fumble on back-to-back possessions in the first half, leading to a pair of Cleveland field goals.Notes: Cundiff came up short on a 60-yarder at the end of the first half, and Devin Hester nearly took it back for an Atlanta touchdown. He went 75 yards before being dragged down at the Cleveland 31. ... Cleveland S Tashaun Gipson was taken off on a cart after injuring his right leg in a collision with teammate Joe Haden.
