BALTIMORE -- The night was supposed to be about the long-awaited returns of quarterback Joe Flacco and linebacker Terrell Suggs.Instead, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh ended up lamenting two significant injuries and a preseason schedule filled with games that are not meaningful.Flacco went 11 for 16 for 94 yards in his first action since November, but the Ravens apparently lost tight end Benjamin Watson for the season during a 30-9 preseason victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.After Watson tore his right Achilles tendon on the games first play, promising rookie running back Kenneth Dixon left in the second quarter with a sprained knee.Harbaugh said both players would receive MRIs on Sunday. He then provided his unsolicited take on the NFLs four-game preseason.Maybe its more games than we need, he said. Fewer preseason games and bigger rosters -- thats good for everybody.Harbaugh said the leagues coaches dont need the games to get their teams prepared for the regular season.We can find ways to get our guys ready to go and evaluated without the risk the game necessarily entails, he said.Asked how many preseason games he would like to see, Harbaugh said: If I had my druthers, Id go none. That would be my thing.Underscoring the notion that results in the preseason mean nothing, Lions running back Ameer Abdullah said, Ill start caring about winning when they keep score.The game did have some positives for Baltimore, most notably Flaccos return from knee surgery.He took the Ravens (3-0) to a field goal in their opening possession and played in one more series, ending his performance by misfiring on a fourth-down pass from the Detroit 43.Suggs, meanwhile, participated in his first game since tearing his Achilles tendon in the season opener last year. He made two tackles.The Ravens signed Watson as a free agent in March, hoping he would become one of Flaccos prime options this season. That plan ended when the 35-year-old appeared to trip while running a pattern and slumped to the turf.Beset by injuries while going 5-11 last season, the Ravens hoped this season would be different. But their lengthy injury list includes three tight ends: Watson, Dennis Pitta and Maxx Williams. In addition, Nick Boyle will miss the first 10 weeks for violating the leagues drug policy.With Watson out, Flacco turned his attention toward wide receiver Mike Wallace, signed as a free agent during the offseason. Wallace was targeted six times, catching three for 37 yards.Matthew Stafford played the first half for Detroit (1-2), completing 14 of 23 passes for 95 yards. He threw an interception and did not produce a touchdown.We couldnt make plays down the field when we had the chances, then when we made plays, we hurt ourselves with penalties, Stafford said.QUOTABLELions: Abdullah on the offense: A lot of this stuff was self-inflicted. Its not like they were coming in and imposing their will. There were a lot of penalties (nine) and thats what killed us.Ravens: Flacco on his performance: I was a little quick on a couple of things, but it felt great to be back out there.ROOKIE WATCHLions: Devon Bell misfired badly on a 42-yard field-goal try, but rebounded to hit one from 33 yards. Veteran Matt Prater, on the other hand, kicked a 60-yarder to end the first half.Ravens: Top draft pick Ronnie Stanley remains a fixture at left tackle. He started next to fellow rookie Alex Lewis, who played left guard for the injured John Urschel (contusion).POSITION BATTLELions: Undrafted rookie TE Cole Wick had mixed results in his effort to impress at a position beset by injuries. He had two catches for 20 yards, but was called for holding on a touchdown run.Ravens: With Dixon out, Terrance West appears poised to be the backup behind Justin Forsett. He gained 43 yards rushing compared to 15 for Javorius Allen.WELCOME BACKStandout defensive end Haloti Ngata faced the Ravens for the first time since being traded from Baltimore to Detroit last season. He had three tackles and a sack.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Claude Giroux Flyers Jersey .

James Van Riemsdyk Flyers Jersey Jakub Voracek Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Von Miller isnt going to lobby for holding calls or disparage Oaklands punter for imitating his sack dances.And he sure wont take coaches for granted after he organized the Denver Broncos mannequin challenge it proved so, well, challenging.The Super Bowl MVP is second in the league with 9+ sacks despite getting held on what seems like every snap, but hardly ever seeing the flags fly.Unlike fellow superstars Cam Newton and Richard Sherman , Miller isnt about to complain to -- or about -- the officials.I really just dont worry about all that stuff, Miller said. I just play.Miller knows hes a handful for tackles and tight ends and thats why they usually grab a handful of his jersey, if not put him in a virtual headlock. He just goes back to the line of scrimmage, lines up and takes another shot at getting to the quarterback.No whistle. No flag. No matter.Im not going to be the one lobbying for them anyway, Miller said. Im always on (to) the next play, I feel like if I get my rush the way Im supposed to, if I rush how Im supposed to rush, if they hold me, Im still going to be able to get there.If Miller wont lobby for calls on plays hes getting held, hes sure not going to say flags should have been thrown on Raiders punter Marquette King, who did an imitation of Millers sack dances after dropping a punt inside the Denver 3 in Oaklands 30-20 win over the Broncos last weekend.Punters dancing, they always say this is the `No Fun League or whatever it is, but you have punters out here dancing, thats dope to me, Miller said. If the score was a little bit different, it would be even doper.Miller has gone without at least a shared sack in just one game this year, on Oct. 24 against former teammate Brock Osweiler. Osweiler got the ball out quickly and hardly took any shots downfield in a 27-9 loss at Denver.On Sunday, hell face Drew Brees, among the toughest QBs to sack in the NFL, when the Broncos (6-3) visit the Saints (4-4).Brees, sacked only a dozen times on 347 drop-backs, called Miller probably the best pass rusher in the league. Theyve faced each other oncce, a 34-14 Broncos win in 2012, when Miller didnt sack Brees.ddddddddddddGetting pressure on him this weekend will help a depleted defense thats missing star cornerback Aqib Talib (back) and run-stuffer Derek Wolfe (elbow).The Broncos own the leagues 29th-ranked run defense and their offense leads the league in three-and-outs by a wide margin. But theyre confident they can capitalize on their bye next week to rest and recalibrate for the stretch run.An indication of that pluck came this week when they joined the mannequin challenge craze. Miller videotaped his teammates and other team personnel in a variety of still poses in the locker room.DeMarcus Ware said it took five takes.One time Shane (Ray) moved. One time the equipment guy came through. One time a guy came in and was like, `What are you guys doing? Ware recounted.It sure wasnt easy to get everyone to sit still.Theres no way that you can organize 53 guys, said Miller, who now has even more respect for the challenges coaches face in trying to do that very thing.They asked me, `Von, do you every see yourself coaching? Miller said. And Im like, you know what, I have a newfound appreciation for all of our coaches because its hard to get 27-year-olds and 25-year-olds to listen right now. Listen to what were talking about. This is important. ... Some guys, its just hard.Game notes Coach Gary Kubiak said he hopes to have Talib and Wolfe back after the bye for the Nov. 27 game against the Chiefs. ... CB Kayvon Webster (hamstring) will return to action this weekend after missing last weeks game. ... The Broncos practiced indoors Friday for the second time this week to prepare for the Superdome. QB Trevor Siemian says hes never played a football game indoors. Really? Kubiak said, scrunching his face.
