he's uncorking with ease as proof that he's truly back.The Baltimore Ravens quarterback doesn't quite see it that way.Sure Cheap Cleveland Browns Hoodie , he feels great. Yet he believes the credit for his team's hot start should go to the 10 guys on the field with him every play. They're the ones doing the hard work. Flinging the ball all over the place as he did in a 26-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night is the easy part."It's not like today was the toughest Pittsburgh Steeler games I've ever played," Flacco said. "I've played really, really tough football games against these guys and probably thrown for 150 (yards) but I take pride in some of those games because I battled really, really hard."The battle was easier this time around for Flacco thanks to a redesigned offense that focuses on creativity and diversity. Flacco completed 28 passes to 11 different players while finishing with 363 yards passing and two scores as the Ravens (3-1) created some early separation between themselves and the Steelers (1-2-1)."The way our guys battled up front today and the way our guys on the outside got open, it didn't have to be one of those (typical Steeler) games," Flacco said. "I was able to stand back there with confidence and not too many guys around me Cheap Custom Cleveland Browns Jerseys , and that helps."The 33-year-old Flacco stressed, "I'm not throwing the ball any different, we're a better offense."One that can attack defenses in a variety of ways. Flacco opened the scoring with a beautiful 33-yard strike to John Brown on Baltimore's first possession and added a 3-yard flip to running back Alex Collins later in the quarter. He wasn't quite as explosive, but perhaps even more effective in the second half while putting together four extended drives that ate up the clock and kept Pittsburgh's potent offense off the field.Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gave offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg an "A-plus" on game planning,"We want to be creative, we want to keep people off balance but yet be physical with what we are doing Youth Larry Ogunjobi Jersey ," Harbaugh said.Baltimore was able to do all three while ending a three-game losing streak to the Steelers, who find themselves tied with Cleveland for last in the division a quarter of the way into the season."We don't like where we are, but we accept it," Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin said. "We understand that this is our doing. We just got to keep working."STEELERS SPUTTERPittsburgh's leaky defense has taken plenty of heat during the team's sluggish start. Yet the offense looked ordinary for stretches and downright overmatched in the second half. The Steelers managed just 47 yards and three first downs after halftime."I don't think I'm on the same page as anybody right now," Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said after completing 27 of 47 passes for 274 yards with a touchdown and an interception. "I'm not playing well enough. I need to play better."He's hardly the only one. The Steelers did nothing on the ground. Pittsburgh ran for 19 yards on 11 carries."We were not able to find enough traction tonight," Tomlin said.FLAG DAYThe Steelers entered the game as White Kevin Zeitler Jersey , by far, the most penalized team in the NFL. For the first time all season, the opponents drew more attention from officials. Baltimore was called for seven penalties for 50 yards while Pittsburgh was flagged five times for 40 yards.INJURIESSteelers: Lost wide receiver and special teams ace Darrius Heyward-Bey to an ankle injury in the first half. Safety Nat Behre exited with a pectoral injury in the second half.UP NEXTRavens: visit Cleveland to play Baker Mayfield and the Browns (1-2-1). Baltimore has won five straight in the series.Steelers: Welcome Atlanta (1-3) to Heinz Field.Browns looking to utilize Briean Boddy-Calhoun’s versatility The Cleveland Browns invested heavily in the defensive secondary in the offseason in a bid to improve a unit that was the weakest point on defense in 2017.While most of the attention will be on cornerback Denzel Ward and safety Jabrill Pepper, first-round picks in the past two NFL Drafts, it is the versatility of one player that may help the secondary take a step forward.Briean Boddy-Calhoun has been one of the team’s best players in the secondary since joining the Browns in 2016. He was good enough last season as a nickel cornerback to earn an overall grade of 84.1 from Pro Football Focus, which also credited Boddy-Calhoun with allowing just 0.46 yards per cover snap White Damarious Randall Jersey , the second-best figure in the league.Defensive backs/safeties coach Jerod Kruse said on Tuesday that while the Browns are happy with the work that Boddy-Calhoun has done from the nickel spot, they will not be shy about moving him around in the secondary, according to clevelandbrowns.com:If all the pieces come together this season for the secondary, the Browns defense is going to be very fun to watch. And no matter where he lines up, expect Boddy-Calhoun to be right in the middle of it all.
