Ravens, Rams both trying to shake off misery from Week 2 losses

Check out some of the key issues highlighted by NFL.com that both teams face as they enter Sunday's matchup with the goal of avenging last weekend's losses. (Full article)

"The same performance we took responsibility for against Pittsburgh, we take responsibility for against Tennessee," coach John Harbaugh said. "Both of those games are ours. That's who we are, and we build off both of those games. We take what we learn and we take it to St. Louis and try to become a better football team."

Baltimore let Tennessee's Matt Hasselbeck throw for 358 yards, and will likely need its secondary to step up in order to slow down St. Louis' Sam Bradford.

"We shot ourselves in the foot," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "It's difficult enough to beat any football team in this league without doing that."

Baltimore totaled 229 yards of offense and turned the ball over three times. Joe Flacco, who had three touchdowns and a 117.6 quarterback rating in the opener, finished with two interceptions and a 51.2 last Sunday, his worst mark since Week 2 of last season.

The Ravens are 18-2 when Flacco has a passer rating over 100, and this will be his first game against the Rams. These teams haven't met since Baltimore forced six turnovers in a 22-3 win on Oct. 14, 2007.

While the Ravens are nearly unbeatable when Flacco plays well, they are also pretty good at bouncing back from losses, having won eight straight following a defeat since October 2009.

The Rams' track record isn't as impressive. They're 0-2 for a fifth straight season and have opened with three consecutive losses three of the last four years.
