TAMPA, Fla. - Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens were intent on getting their season back on track, and there was nothing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could do to stop them.Youre going to find out this is a very good football team, coach John Harbaugh said Sunday after Flacco threw for five touchdowns in just over 16 minutes to set the tone for a 48-17 rout of the struggling Bucs. And to play the way we did in a game thats kind of a business game, a game we need to win to do the things we want to do, it speaks a lot to who we are as a football team.Still smarting from a subpar road performance that ended a three-game winning streak, Flacco was nearly flawless against a defence that had no answers for Baltimores passing or running attack.Flacco threw for TDs to four different receivers and completed passes to five others as well. Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro contributed to a productive ground game.It was very enjoyable. You dont get those too often in this league. ... It was pretty crazy, Flacco said. It happened so quickly. It was such an awkward situation, but it was definitely fun for us.Baltimore (4-2) scored on six straight possessions to begin the game, with Flacco becoming the first NFL quarterback to throw five TD passes in the opening half since Tom Brady did it in 2009 on the way to New England beating Tennessee 59-0.Torrey Smith caught the first two, and Kamar Aiken, Michael Campanaro and Steve Smith followed for a 35-0 lead early in the second quarter.It was really surreal, and a lot of fun at that point, Flacco said. At that point, shoot, we were on pace for almost 16 touchdowns.Tampa Bay (1-5) trailed 38-0 at halftime and was embarrassed for the second time in six games under coach Lovie Smith. The Bucs were beaten 56-14 at Atlanta on Sept. 18, but rebounded from that debacle with a win over Pittsburgh and an overtime loss at New Orleans, outings that left Smith feeling his team was headed in the right direction.Theyre a good football team, and were not a good football team. Its as simple as that, Smith said after dropping to 0-3 at home.Weve all, Bucs offensive tackle Demar Dotson offered, got a lot of getting better to do.Flacco was sacked four times and Baltimore was just 1 of 11 on third-down conversions a week ago in a disappointing 20-13 loss at Indianapolis, however the offence was in synch from the very start against the Bucs porous Tampa2 defence.With help from Forsetts 52-yard run on the second play from scrimmage, the Ravens moved 80 yards in four plays to take a quick lead on Flaccos 15-yard scoring pass to Torrey Smith. His next three TD throws a€” 9 yards to Torrey Smith, 17 yards to Aiken and 19 yards to Campanaro a€” came on third-down throws.It was a great start, about as fast a start as youre going to get, really in all three phases. Harbaugh said. But for the offence to do what they did early ... its just historic.Steve Smith is Baltimores leading receiver, but was hardly involved until he beat cornerback Alterraun Verner deep down the left sideline for a 56-yard score that made it 35-0 just over a minute into the second quarter. It was the 14th-year pro seventh career TD against the Bucs.The Ravens said it also was the fastest a€” 16:03 a€” that any NFL player has thrown for five TDs in a game. When the Bucs finally stopped Flacco for the first time, forcing Baltimore to settle for Justin Tuckers 46-yard field goal midway through the second quarter, Tampa Bay safety Bradley McDougald raised his right fist in triumph.Flacco finished 21 of 29 for 306 yards with no interceptions. He was barely pressured by the Tampa Bay pass rush and was not sacked.The Ravens outgained the Bucs 347 yards to 101 in rolling to their big halftime lead. The Bucs broke through with a 47-yard field goal early in the third quarter and Mike Glennon threw touchdown passes of 17 yards to Mike Evans and 3 yards to Louis Murphy.Glennon went 24 of 44 for 314 yards, two TDs and one interception in his third start of the season for the Bucs, who lost Josh McCown to a thumb injury during its lopsided loss to Atlanta.In addition to Jimmy Smiths first-quarter interception which set up Baltimores second touchdown, the Ravens sacked Glennon five times for 37 yards.Steve Smith finished with five catches for 110 yards, his eighth 100-yard day against Tampa Bay, a team he tormented for 13 seasons as a member of the Carolina Panthers. Forsett rushed for 111 yards on 14 carries.NOTES: Pierce scored Baltimores final touchdown on a 4-yard run late in the third quarter. ... The Ravens Tucker had a 64-yard field goal attempt blocked on the final play of the first half. ... Tampa Bay was limited to 87 yards rushing. Doug Martin had 45 on 11 attempts, and ex-Raven Bobby Rainey carried seven times for 42.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Nike Air Max Axis Canada .S. - Nova Scotias Mary Fay guaranteed at least one more match and a shot at the Canadian junior curling championships final on home ice.

No contenders lineup has been more damaged than Arizonas, with the latest being the sidelining of top running back Andre Ellington.Its somewhat astonishing that they not only lead the NFC West, but could grab a wild-card spot with a victory at St. Louis on Thursday night.Much easier said than done. The Rams come off consecutive shutouts — yes, they were against Oakland and Washington, and were not exactly talking the John Madden Raiders or Joe Gibbs Redskins. Still, St. Louis is not a team anyone wants any part of right now.Particularly the defence.Theyve always been as good a front four as anybody in the league and youre watching them jell and become an outstanding defence, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians says. (Safety) Mark Barron was a great addition. Theyve stayed healthy, thats a big thing.Preparation is at a premium for a short week, but neither is a fancy team with a lot of tricks. Most important is keeping your own house in order, according to Rams coach Jeff Fisher.Im fine with a Thursday night game. Its just getting to Thursday night, which is the challenge as coaches, he says. In essence what you do is you pick up an extra bye week.
