LOS ANGELES (AP) — Linebacker Dante Fowler has re-signed with the Los Angeles Rams Josh Oliver Jersey , passing up a shot at unrestricted free agency to stay with the NFC champions.The Rams announced a deal Sunday night to keep Fowler, but didn’t disclose the terms.The Rams acquired Fowler in a trade with Jacksonville on Oct. 30, and the edge rusher played a significant role in Los Angeles’ run to the Super Bowl. The 2015 No. 3 overall pick had two sacks in the regular season and 1 ½ more in the playoffs while creating consistent pressure on quarterbacks.Fowler would have been one of the top pass rushers on the market, but he clearly enjoyed his experience in Wade Phillips’ defense after an up-and-down career with the Jaguars.Fowler, a St. Petersburg native and University of Florida star, had spent his entire life in Florida before the Rams traded a third-round draft pick this year and a fifth-round pick in 2020 to acquire him. Fowler immediately took to his new team, embracing a pass-rushing role in Phillips’ 3-4 defense and fitting in quickly with his new teammates.Rather than chasing free-agent riches, Fowler decided to extend his West Coast stay for at least another season — and he may have decided several weeks ago.“We’ll be ready next year,” Fowler said immediately after the Rams’ 13-3 loss to New England in the Super Bowl last month.After going 13-3 and reaching their first Super Bowl in 17 years, the Rams have already addressed two of their biggest offseason concerns before free agency opens.Los Angeles signed six-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle on Friday, likely replacing Lamarcus Joyner with one of the top available talents. Weddle is returning to his native Southern California to join Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters and John Johnson in the Rams’ secondary.Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and cornerback Sam Shields also are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. The Rams haven’t ruled out bringing back both veterans http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/quincy-williams-ii-jersey-cheap , and Suh took a likely discount a year ago for the chance to earn his first career playoff victories by signing with Los Angeles. BALTIMORE (AP)In the days leading up to their pivotal game against the Detroit Lions, Ravens safety Eric Weddle predicted there would come a time when Baltimore would have to rely on its offense to win. Sure enough, that’s what happened Sunday. Though Baltimore’s ball-hawking defense did its part in a 44-20 win over Detroit, the play of quarterback Joe Flacco and the offense was essential in the Ravens’ season-high third straight victory. The oft-criticized Flacco threw for two touchdowns and led three scoring drives in the fourth quarter as Baltimore (7-5) held off a comeback bid by Matthew Stafford and Detroit (6-6). And so, the league’s 31st-ranked offense made Weddle’s prediction come true. ”Everyone looked at me crazy when I said that, maybe rightfully so,” Weddle said. ”But I have belief in this team, our quarterback, what we’re doing offensively, the weapons we have.” Weddle had a strip-sack and returned an interception for a touchdown to help Baltimore enhance its playoff position. The Lions lost their second straight following a three-game win streak and now find themselves in a precarious position with four weeks left. ”There have been crazier things that have happened,” receiver Golden Tate said. ”But we’ve got to get this thing popping.” Stafford set a team record by throwing 20 straight completions, but Detroit couldn’t fully pull itself out of a 20-0 halftime hole. Stafford wasn’t around at the end Ryquell Armstead Jersey , though, having left with a bruised hand after he was cleated in the fourth quarter. Some things we learned about the Lions and Ravens: ROOKIE TIME: When Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith went out with an apparent season-ending torn Achilles tendon late in the first half, rookie Marlon Humphrey was forced into a full-time role. Although the Lions victimized Humphrey with some long gainers in the third quarter, Baltimore’s first-round pick from Alabama grabbed his second interception of the year in the fourth quarter to set up a score. ”When you let up a big play you have to let that go. I let two big ones up today, but I just played on and got to the next one,” Humphrey said. He’s going to have to make a habit of it down the stretch if the Ravens are to reach the postseason. ”He doesn’t get overwhelmed by situations,” coach John Harbaugh said of Humphrey. ”He’s a very poised, confident guy.” OPENING SOME EYES: With Stafford directing a pass-heavy attack, there wasn’t much need for the Lions to run the ball. But reserve running back Tion Green had 11 carries for 51 yards and a 6-yard touchdown, easily the best numbers on an offense that gained only 78 yards on 24 rushes. The rookie out of Cincinnati may have earned himself a longer look. Stafford said: ”It didn’t seem like it was too big for him. He just stepped in and played.” O-LINE WOES: Detroit was already without starting center Travis Swanson, inactive for Sunday’s game with a knee injury. But the hits kept coming for what has become a patchwork offensive line. The right side was especially hard hit. Tackle Rick Wagner went out early with an ankle injury and did not return. Guard T.J. Lang limped off with a foot injury, but returned later in the game. The fact that the Lions were cobbling together protection for Stafford makes the quarterback’s 20 straight pass completions even more impressive. But the yeoman’s work wasn’t enough to placate anyone after another disheartening defeat. ”You got to be able to adjust and find a way to win http://www.jaguarscheapstore.com/gardner-minshew-ii-jersey-cheap ,” coach Jim Caldwell said. ”We didn’t do that.” HEADACHE: Alex Collins was a headache for the Lions, and ended a productive afternoon taking care of a migraine. Baltimore’s slashing running back had his first two-touchdown game, scoring on runs inside the 10 in the fourth quarter to help the Ravens pull away. Although held to 23 yards on eight carries in the first half, Collins gained 52 yards in the second half and finished with 75 yards on 15 tries, a robust 5-yard average. But the Ravens said Collins had a ”significant migraine headache” and was unavailable for post-game questions. TAKING THE HIT: Caldwell assumed responsibility for an embarrassing gaffe early in the fourth quarter, when the Lions defense had only nine men on the field when Baltimore was driving on a third-and-7 at the Detroit 33. With numbers in his favor, Flacco completed a pass to Chris Moore for a 23-yard gain. Two plays later, Collins scored from the 7. ”That’s wrong, should have never happened,” said Caldwell, who wouldn’t explain why he didn’t call a timeout. ”That’s my fault.” —
