OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens had very little time to enjoy a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, one that lifted them into first place in the AFC North.Coach John Harbaugh gathered the team for meetings and a practice session Monday, less than 24 hours after Baltimore ended a four-game losing streak by defeating its division rivals 21-14 .Next up: a home game against winless Cleveland on Thursday night. Even though the Ravens waited more than a month to secure their fourth win, they knew there would be nothing to gain by lingering in the moment.Normally we come in after the game and watch the film, which is always fun after a victory, linebacker Zachary Orr said. We didnt do that today. We had to move on to Cleveland. Hopefully, next week we get to look back on two wins.Harbaugh and his coaching staff began preparing for Cleveland at the same time they were poring over film of the Steelers.A lot of work was done last week, a lot of work was done last night and this morning, Harbaugh said after the late afternoon practice session. We moved right to Cleveland. We didnt spend any time on Pittsburgh as far as reviewing it.Its been a crazy year for the Ravens, whose 3-0 start included a 25-20 win at Cleveland on Sept. 18 in which they rallied from a 20-point deficit. Now, in spite of a four-game skid -- the teams longest since Harbaugh arrived in 2008 -- Baltimore reached the midpoint of the season tied atop the AFC North with Pittsburgh, a half-game ahead of Cincinnati.Since 2012, we havent really been in a position to win the division this late in the season, Harbaugh noted. Really, in the end, thats what matters.The Ravens received contributions from the offense, defense and special teams in taking down the Steelers. Joe Flacco and Mike Wallace collaborated on a 95-yard touchdown, the defense yielded only two first downs over the first 45 minutes, and a blocked punt produced the clinching score.For the first time in a month, Baltimore put it all together.You look in a lot of different areas and see things that were hurting us in a lot of those (previous) games. Weve cleaned a lot of that stuff up, Harbaugh said. Thats the beauty of football, especially in the NFL. Its a long season and you have the opportunity to improve.A misstep against the Browns (0-9) would nullify that win over Pittsburgh in much the same fashion that the 0-4 stretch offset the 3-0 start.Veteran teams, good teams, they dont take steps back, linebacker Terrell Suggs said. They take the next step.Before the game against the Steelers, Suggs told his teammates, This game has the potential to define you. Afterward, he told them to forget about it.Were going to enjoy this, but its going to be short-lived, Suggs said. Weve definitely got to move on, and Im going to do my part and make sure them guys understand that.Playing with three days rest has become commonplace for NFL teams, but that doesnt make it any easier.The game planning is certainly a challenge, but you just do it. Both teams are on the same boat, Harbaugh said. The physical part of it is different, too. The recovery curve is shorter, so you adjust what you do.The players get it. Big defensive tackle Brandon Williams would have loved spending Monday at home or in a whirlpool, but that wasnt an option.Its the thing we do, he said. One game down, next ones up. Weve got to get our body right, come out Thursday and play our game.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Fake Vapormax Plus Cheap .

Pitch prediction sometimes brings to mind the reading of palms or tea leaves.In the days before a Test, coaches and captains take familiar positions near one end of the track and stare pensively down at the clay; silently nodding or shaking heads, or murmuring softly under their breath. They drop ritualistically, to their haunches to lay hands on the surface, sometimes feeling it with closed eyes, as if searching for the pitchs life force. Towards the end of the exercise, glances are often thrown skywards and divine guidance is sought. Occasionally, the pitch curator consulted.Members of both teams observed this tradition, at Seddon Park, on Tuesday, and if they were especially intense during the examination, it is because the Hamilton pitch has had many avatars in recent years. It bounced for Sri Lanka last December, when even a visiting seamer prospered with the short ball, and Sri Lankas top order treated the crowd to an unforgettable slapstick collapse. In 2013 it had sung for offspinner Sunil Narine, who took 6 for 91 in the first innings. In the two Tests before that, reverse-swing had defined the outcome. All the way back in 2010, when Australia came, pace and seam movement had proved significant.Pakistan say they are happy to play on any track, but two days out, this track is just as green as the one at Hagley Oval had been. And although it was a warm, cloudless day, Seddon Parks curators also kept the surface covered for much of the afternoon. Much of the grass will be retained - all the better to mute Pakistans spinner, said New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman BJ Watling, who also plays on this surface for the Northern Districts domestic side.A lot can depend on the cloud cover we get here when conditions are around, he said. It can swing when its overcast. Im hoping it doesnt spin too much because Yasir Shah is a worldd-class bowler, and we really dont want to bring him into the game too much.ddddddddddddIn addition to aiding swing, the cloud cover and rain expected for the first three days of the match may also prevent the track from drying out as much as Pakistan and Yasir would like. The forecast has improved through the week, however, and Watling suggested that even a little sunshine could change the pitchs character. Our pitches here can flatten out quite quickly. If its green on day one, I can guarantee that by the end of day two, if it stays sunny, it wont be that green anymore.If the pitch does turn out seam-friendly again, the visiting quicks had shown competence in such conditions - particularly on the third morning of the first Test, when the claimed six wickets for 96. Their success had largely come from bowling shorter lengths than they had initially ventured, the previous day.Their bowlers are very good, and conditions like these can suit them, Watling said. They would have learned from that last match and will adjust their lengths accordingly. They would have learned a lot with the bat as well and we can expect a tougher challenge in this game.New Zealand are likely to retain the quicks that played in Christchurch, but will likely swap Mitchell Santner for Todd Astle in the XI. Watling said the hosts attack is varied enough to be menacing, even if the ball does not move for as long as expected.We know we always have Neil Wagner, who when conditions flatten out, can change a game and give you those couple of crucial wickets to bring our swing bowlers back into the game as well. Weve got a good balance there. With Colin bowling quite a few overs for us as the allrounder, I think it really helps Kane. ' ' '
