BALTIMORE -- Although the Baltimore Ravens rarely bring out players in tandem to the podium, a notable exception was made after Sundays 13-7 win over Buffalo. Adidas Victor Hedman Jersey .Former high school teammates Shareece Wright and Jimmy Smith stood side by side, discussing their part in an outstanding defensive effort against elusive quarterback Tyrod Taylor and the Bills.Wright made 11 tackles and Smith put the clamps on Buffalo standout receiver Sammy Watkins.Asked if he ever envisioned sharing a podium with Wright after an NFL game, Smith said, This is the first time for this, ever. But, I mean, this is a unique situation. Hopefully we can get the film one day and watch it when were old, sitting somewhere.Backed up by safeties Eric Weddle and Lardarius Webb, Wright and Smith helped Baltimore limit Taylor to a mere 111 yards passing. Weddle was signed as a free agent and Webb has been shifted to free safety from cornerback.Eric Weddle, hes a different kind of guy back there, Wright said. Hes like a defensive coordinator.Wright was burned several times last season after being signed in October. But on this day, he was exceptional.Big time, is how Weddle described it. Everybody got an eye-opener today of what hes all about.It happened quickly. Three plays into their season, the Bills were already digging out of negative territory.One 2-yard pass completion over the middle was all the positive yardage the Bills could muster. Running back LeSean McCoy was stuffed for a 6-yard loss and Taylors pass to the left was caught by Mike Gillisee for a 4-yard loss.Wright penetrated into the backfield to make the tackle on both losses, setting the tone for Baltimores defensive renaissance.A year ago, the Ravens repeatedly failed to come up with a big stop in the fourth quarter, one reason why they went 5-11 and lost nine games by eight points or fewer.Our corners played elite football out there, coach John Harbaugh said. If we can play like that in the back end, were going to have a chance to win some games.The pass defense was impressive, but Baltimore was also impenetrable against the run, allowing only 65 yards on 24 carries.Us keeping them to 60-plus yards was great, but obviously we can do better, defensive tackle Brandon Williams said. We want to hold them to zero.Lofty expectations, indeed, but the Ravens would like to think this is only the beginning.Today was just a glimpse of what we can become, Weddle said. Its still a work in progress. We still have areas we need to get better in, but when we needed to get a stop, we got it.And that gives our defense some confidence for the future.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Lightning Jerseys Authentic .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Although Max Verstappen is already being talked about as a future Formula One champion, the Dutch teenager is unsure how competitive he can be next season.The 19-year-old Red Bull driver has taken F1 by storm this season, becoming the youngest competitor to win a race. Two weeks ago, Verstappen produced one of the best drives in recent years with astonishingly audacious overtaking at the rain-drenched Brazilian Grand Prix.All eyes will be on Verstappen next year, when rule changes to make cars faster may shake up the title race -- potentially in his favor. But he is cautious as to whether Red Bull will be quick enough to break the total stranglehold Mercedes has enjoyed for the past three seasons.At the moment its a bit difficult to say what exactly what I want to achieve for next year because you dont know what the packages are, Verstappen said Thursday. Were all very positive about next year, but I think its important to just wait and see when the car gets to the track.Despite his young age, Verstappen already has seven podium finishes and drives with the assurance of a contender.When aged 18, he won the Spanish GP in May -- his first race for Red Bull after switching from Toro Rosso early on this season.Verstappen followed that up by becoming the youngest driver to start on the front row by qualifying in second place for the Belgian GP in August.His daring and flamboyant overtaking makes him noticed among fans and rivals alike.But his abrasive, aggressive style also puts him at odds with other drivers, notably Ferrari duo Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.Verstappen has verbally clashed with both this year.During the Mexican GP, Vettel was furious that Verstappen had made an illegal move. Red Bull advised Verstappen -- but did not order him -- to yield position to Vettel as a show of sportsmanship. Adidas Andrej Sustr Jersey. Verstappen ignored the call.Vettel cursed in his car radio and, after the checkered flag, drove up beside Verstappen and wagged his finger. Verstappen responded by shaking his fist and later calling the four-time world champion a very frustrated guy, shouting on the radio like a child.But after his performance in Brazil, the F1 paddock was united in talking about Verstappens driving skills.In Brazil he came back to the pits late in the race after misjudging which tires to use on the treacherously wet track.When he came back out on new tires, Verstappen was down in 16th place, yet he sliced through the field to finish third.We witnessed something very special, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. The way he drove was outstanding. It stands out to me like Ayrton Senna in Monaco and other great drives in history.High praise indeed, although the unflappable Verstappen -- as usual -- has taken it in his stride.I was definitely enjoying myself in Brazil, he said. But Im not sure if it has changed something for me personally in terms of my reputation.He credits his handling skills in wet conditions to his karting days as a junior and some key early tutoring from his father Jos Verstappen -- who drove in more than 100 F1 races during his career.He was helping me a lot, especially when I was six or seven years old, Verstappen said. He was even standing on the track showing me where to drive, trying to find different lines, and that definitely helped me a lot out there in Brazil.
