OWINGS MILLS, Md. Todd Gurley II Rams Jersey . -- After his first practice of the year, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr.?made it known that he no longer wants to be questioned about his age.Smith, the NFLs oldest receiver, wants to prove he can still play at the age of 37.Im sick of you all saying, How can you depend on a 37-year-old to play this game after a ruptured Achilles? Smith said after Thursdays practice. Were going to see.Smith was activated off the physically unable to perform list Thursday, and he took the field for the first time since tearing his right Achilles tendon nine months ago. In talking to the media afterward, Smith was his vintage self: defiant, funny and emotional.He fought back tears when he recounted general manager Ozzie Newsome and coach John Harbaugh telling him to take time to think about his future after he suffered his season-ending injury. Smith acknowledged there were a couple of times he thought about calling it quits, but he ultimately returned for one reason.I really came back not to set any records but more because this organization gave me an opportunity, Smith said, his voice cracking at times. When I got hurt, I felt like I let those guys down in the locker room.Smith showed no signs of favoring his Achilles while running routes at half speed in what was a walk-through for Saturdays preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. He isnt expected to play in any preseason games this year.Harbaugh said he was excited to see Smith but wasnt surprised to see him on the field.I would say he was going maybe a little stir-crazy in that training room, Harbaugh said. I think he wanted to get out on the field and get going again.Smith, who announced his retirement during last years training camp, would say only that this was his last year contractually. He declined to answer whether his 16th season would be his final one.You all worry all about the wrong things, and all the good things happen that get glanced over, Smith said. Were going to have good time. Were going to have some fun. And were going to make plays. And, oh yeah, I just happen to be 37 years old while Im doing it.Even if this is his final season, Smith doesnt want a farewell tour.Im not in this business to make friends, Smith said. If youre not in the same jersey as me, I plan to rip you to shreds.Smith then added, The bully is back. Vacation is over for the DBs. Orlando Pace Womens Jersey . A knee to the thigh might have stung him the most, but his sixth straight double-double made up for the brief burst of pain. Marshall Faulk Jersey . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds." A decision has seemingly been made - Sundays Group B-deciding tilt against Finland ahead - but it could not have been an easy one. Price opened the tournament with a sturdy 19-save performance against the Norwegians, yielding just one goal. http://www.laramsfootballshops.com/cory-littleton-jersey/ . Q: Team Canada announces their Olympic roster three weeks from today. Who is general manager Steve Yzerman watching? LeBrun: Over the last 48 hours, hes taken in the home-and-home between the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche with Jamie Benn and Matt Duchene being the obvious targets. MINNEAPOLIS -- Sam Bradford had a Minnesota debut almost as dazzling as the new $1.1 billion building itself, completing 22 of 30 passes for 286 yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers to lead the Vikings to a 17-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.The defense did the rest, sacking Aaron Rodgers five times and producing two turnovers in the fourth quarter that quashed the comeback and sent the crowd of 66,813 into a deafening frenzy in celebration of first regular-season game at U.S. Bank Stadium.Adrian Peterson limped off in the third quarter with a right knee injury, and only 19 yards on 12 carries, but the Vikings (2-0) proved they still have a lot of options. Stefon Diggs caught nine passes for 182 yards a touchdown. They held the Packers (1-1) to 65 total yards in the first half, withstanding an early touchdown pass by Rodgers to Jordy Nelson on a drive aided by two penalties by cornerback Terence Newman.Trae Waynes, who had two penalties himself, intercepted Rodgers pass in Vikings territory in the closing minutes to seal the victory. The previous drive was killed when Brian Robison knocked the ball out of the hands of Rodgers, who ran for 29 yards and a touchdown. He began to find a groove throwing the ball late, but Bradford was the better quarterback on this night.PATRIOTS 31, DOLPHINS 24FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Jimmy Garoppolo had three, first-half touchdown passes before leaving in the second quarter with a right shoulder injury.It was the Patriots eighth straight home victory over Miami (0-2). It came at a price as New England (2-0) was dealt another blow at quarterback with Tom Brady already out his four-game Deflategate suspension.Garoppolos injury came in a flash. On third down with less than five minutes left in the first half, he was chased out of the pocket and got off a completion to Malcolm Mitchell. Garoppolo was driven into the ground on his shoulder by Miami linebacker Kiko Alonso.Garoppolo initially got up, before going down to one knee and being attended to by the training staff. He ended his day 18 of 27 for 234 yards and the three scores.He was replaced by rookie Jacoby Brissett, who led New England to a touchdown on its first possession of the second half. Brissett was 6 of 9 for 92 yards. LeGarrette Blount rushed 29 times for 123 yards and a touchdown. Martellus Bennett also had five catches 114 and a touchdown.Miami rallied in the second half but couldnt catch up.STEELERS 24, BENGALS 16PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns to offset a pair of interceptions.DeAngelo Williams churned out 94 yards on a career-high 32 carries and added a 4-yard touchdown grab. Tight ends Jesse James and Xavier Grimble also caught scoring passes from Roethlisberger as the Steelers (2-0) kept Cincinnati in check at rainy Heinz Field.Andy Dalton passed for 366 yards and a touchdown, but needed 31 completions to reach that total, working almost exclusively on dump offs to running backs and tight ends while Pittsburgh clamped down on star wide receiver A.J. Green, who had just two receptions for 38 yards.The rematch of the Steelers ugly 18-16 win in the wild-card round in January was downright tame. The teams combined for just 10 penalties and only one personal foul.RAMS 9, SEAHAWKS 3LOS ANGELES -- Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, the longest a 47-yarder in the fourth quarter, and the Rams marked the return of pro football to Los Angeles for the first time in nearly 22 years with a win.Plenty of penalties slowed down the game for the announced crowd of 91,046 on a searing day at the Memorial Coliseum, where the Rams commemorated the long-awaited occasion by wearing blue-and-gold throwback uniforms.The Rams (1-1) are still without a touchdown after losing 28-0 at San Francisco in their s opener. With field goals accounting for all the offense, it was hardly the high-scoring show Los Angeles sports fans are known to crave.Seattle (1-1) racked up 10 penalties for 114 yards; the Rams had nine penalties for 78 yards.BRONCOS 34, COLTS 20DENVER -- Von Miller gave the Denver fans a reminder of his Super Bowl 50 MVP performance, sweeping in for the sack-strip of Andrew Luck that sealed the win.With the Broncos clinging to a six-point lead with 1:51 remaining, Miller burst past right tackle Joe Reitz and swiped the ball from Lucks grasp. Fellow linebacker Shane Ray scooped up the ball and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown.Miller added a sack on the last play as the Broncos (2-0) sent the banged-up Colts limping to their third consecutive 0-2 start.They did it by rattling Luck, who started 5 for 18 before he engineered a couple of second-half touchdown drives. Luck completed just 21 of 40 passes for 197 yards and was sacked five times.FALCONS 35, RAIDERS 28OAKLAND, Calif. -- Justin Hardy caught a deflected 8-yard touchdown pass to break a tie midway through the fourth quarter.Matt Ryan threw three TD passes, but got lucky on the go-ahead one in the fourth quarter. His third-down throw to Tevin Coleman was broken up, but the ball bounced high in the air and Hardy caught it in the end zone to put Atlanta (1-1) up 28-21.The Raiders (1-1) appeared to tie on the next drive when Amari Cooper caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr. But officials ruled Cooper went out of bounds voluntarily before making the catch, although the Raiders contended he was pushed by Desmond Trufant.Oakland coach Jack Del Rio then went on fourth-and-2, but Jalen Richard was stopped on a 1-yard gain.BUCCANEERS 40, CARDINALS 7GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Carson Palmer threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns and Arizona (1-1) intercepted Jameis Winston four times.Marcus Cooper, acquired off waivers from Kansas City on Sept. 2, had two interceptions, returning the second 60 yards for a score.

All three of Palmers scoring passes came in the first half,- to Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Jaron Brown.CHARGERS 38, JAGUARS 14SAN DIEGO -- Philip Rivers matched his career-high with four touchdown passes, including two to Travis Benjamin and Melvin Gordon ran for one score and had his first 100-yard game.The Chargers (1-1) bounced back from their stunning loss at Kansas City, when they blew a 21-point third-quarter lead and fell 33-27 in overtime.The Jaguars started 0-2 for the fourth time in five seasons. They crossed midfield only six times
