BALTIMORE -- John Harbaugh had been waiting the entire season for the Baltimore Ravens to put it all together in one memorable, outstanding performance.His patience was rewarded Sunday.The Ravens combined a record-setting passing day by Joe Flacco with a rugged defensive effort in a 38-6 rout of the Miami Dolphins.It was just a heck of a team victory, Harbaugh said. Its something thats been in our minds, our vision of how we played today as a team. Its what were working for, and its nice to see it happen.Flacco threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns, and the Ravens (7-5) made it apparent early that Miamis six-game winning streak would not make it to seven.Baltimore built a 24-0 halftime lead behind the leagues second-ranked defense and Flacco, who went 27 for 34 for 258 yards and three scores.That was enough to provide the Ravens with their fourth win in five games and at least a share of first place in the AFC North.Flacco finished with a franchise-record 36 completions in 47 attempts, by far his most impressive outing in an uneven season. He entered with 11 TD passes and 10 interceptions.It feels good to throw four touchdown passes, Flacco said, but at the end of the day, what does it really matter? As long as we win, thats what matters.Miami (7-5) didnt score until Ryan Tannehill threw a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter following a fumble recovery that started the drive at the Baltimore 8.That made it 24-6, and Flacco answered with a 53-yard touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman with 12:49 left.Two of Flaccos TD passes went to tight end Dennis Pitta, whos enjoying a fine season in his return from a second hip surgery. Pitta had nine catches for 90 yards and leads Baltimore with 61 receptions, but he hadnt reached the end zone since December 2013.Tannehill went 29 for 40 for 226 yards and three interceptions. He was picked off only once during Miamis six-game streak.The Ravens scored a touchdown on their first possession for the second week in a row, moving 75 yards before Flacco connected with Terrance West for a 3-yard score.Unlike last week, when Baltimore managed just one TD in a win over Cincinnati, the Ravens immediately built on their early advantage. Following a missed field goal by the Dolphins, Flacco deftly took Baltimore downfield before throwing a 13-yard touchdown pass to Pitta.The drive was extended by Kenneth Dixons 10-yard run on a fourth-and-1.Flacco capped an 18-play drive in the second quarter with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Pitta. The methodical march took up 8 minutes, 57 seconds.QUOTEABLEDolphins: This was not one of our best performances, coach Adam Gase said. You cant waste opportunities early in the game, especially on offense. We had nothing that really jump-started us. We just couldnt make any plays.Ravens: I thought Joe just played phenomenally well, Harbaugh said. Joe and the offensive line got the game balls in the locker room. I thought (Flaccos) vision was phenomenal. He moved around and made plays on the run, guys made catch-and-run plays. It looked like we wanted it to look.NOWHERE TO RUNDolphins: Miami was limited to 62 yards rushing, its lowest output since gaining 51 in a loss to Tennessee on Oct. 9 -- its last loss. Jay Ajayi was held to 61 yards on 12 carries.Ravens: The Ravens split the handoffs. Dixon gained 56 yards on six attempts and West had 10 carries for 50 yards, including a 9-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.STILL PERFECTRavens kicker Justin Tucker connected on a 55-yard field goal to end the first half. Hes 28 for 28 this season, with eight FGs of at least 50 yards. Hes also hit 35 in a row over two seasons.Gase used a timeout an instant before Tucker banged his field goal try through the uprights. After the timeout, Tucker duplicated the feat.INJURY UPDATEDolphins: LB Kiko Alonso (hand) missed part of the first half. ... CB Tony Lippett was evaluated for a concussion and cleared in second quarter.Ravens: CB Tavon Young (shoulder) left in the second quarter but returned after halftime.UP NEXTDolphins: Miami hosts Arizona next Sunday. The Dolphins have won three straight in the series after losing the first eight.Ravens: A Monday night game in New England looms for the Ravens, 1-7 against the Patriots in the regular season. Harbaugh called it our toughest challenge of the year.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vans Sk8 Hi Homme . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. Vans Sk8 Hi Pas Cher . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. http://www.chaussureoldskool.fr/vans-slip-on-pas-cher.html . PETERSBURG, Fla. Air Max 2018 Pas Cher . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. Vans Old Skool Montant Noir .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. BOSTON -- The Red Sox sent David Ortiz off before his final regular-season game with a promise that he will return.This week, in the playoffs, when he goes for his fourth World Series title.And next year, when they hang his No. 34 from the Fenway facade among the teams retired numbers.During a pregame ceremony Sunday attended by Red Sox greats like Carl Yastrzemski and teammates from Ortizs three World Series championships, the ballclub honored the soon-to-retire slugger by draping a Dominican flag over the Green Monster and bringing out his father -- Big Papis real Papi -- to join him on the diamond.Ortiz broke into tears when he mentioned his late mother before gathering himself to thank his teammates and members of the organization from owner John Henry to clubhouse attendant Pookie Jackson. He also thanked the fans -- dropping to one knee and tipping his cap to the crowd -- along with the media, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Dominican Republic President Danilo Medina, who were both in attendance.He changed the Red Sox, Manfred said before the game. He was a key part of the amazing three wins here. It changed the course of the franchise.But I also think that he changed the city. He became a symbol of the strength of the city and will always be remembered for that.Ortiz announced in November on his 40th birthday that this would be his final year, setting up a season-long farewell tour around the major leagues.As the home team, the Red Sox get to go last.Here are some other sights and sounds from Ortizs farewell:THE GAMEOrtiz had a chance to tie the game in the ninth, when he came up with one out and nobody on and the Red Sox trailing by one. He hit a weak nubber in front of the plate.In all, he was hitless in four at-bats as Toronto won 2-1 and clinched the ALs top wild-card berth.Im exhausted. Im not going to lie to you, he said. This past week caught up to me. Im so happy that its over so I can focus on whats coming up next -- the playoffs.Losses in five of their last six games cost the Red Sox a chance at home-field advantage when their AL Division Series against Cleveland begins on Thursday. Boston will instead host Game 3 on Sunday and Game 4 on Monday, if necessary.DECKED OUTThe Green Monster scoreboard read: Thanks, Big Papi. Banners hung from the light stanchions above. And Ortizs image was mowed into the center-field grass, as it has been for the entire season-ending series against the Blue Jays.Fans in the right-field bleachers held up cards that formed Ortizs No. 34 during the ceremony. During the game, the cards revealed the message: Thanks, Papi.And of course there were the three World Series championship banners behind home plate, all thanks in part to Ortiz. During the ceremony, Mike Lowell, Pedro Martinez and Jonny Gomes carried out the World Series trophies.Mary J. Blige sang the Star-Spangled Banner, as she did before Game 1 of the 2013 Series. The Red Sox also played the Dominican national anthem in Ortizs honor, and Medina threw out a ceremonial first pitch.THE DARK CLOUDManfred was at Fenway Park on the day several playoff positions were sstill to be determined and defended Ortiz from a report -- without confirming it -- that he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug a decade ago.ddddddddddddThe New York Times reported in 2009 that Ortiz was among those who tested positive in a 2003 survey test designed to determine the degree of steroids use in baseball. Ortiz has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but neither the union nor the commissioners office has explained the report.Players and management successfully fought a legal battle to keep the list and samples secret after federal agents seized them.Manfred said on Sunday there were at least 10 names on the list whose inclusion could be doubted for legitimate scientific reasons.Even if you were on that list, it was entirely possible that you were not a positive, the commissioner said.Asked if there was anything baseball could do to help Ortiz clear his name, Manfred said the results have been destroyed.Since Ortiz did not violate baseballs rules, the only damage from the report is to Ortizs legacy and his Hall of Fame candidacy when he reaches the ballot in five years. Manfred said it was up to the voting members of the Baseball Writers Association of America whether to induct players who have formally tested positive for steroids.But Ortizs case is different, he said.In situations where it is leaked, that is unfair to the player, Manfred said. And I think it would be wrong to exclude them.COMMISSIONER PAPI?Manfred said Ortiz stopped by his office last offseason to say he planned to retire. The Red Sox slugger again went to the commissioners office when the team was in New York last week; this time, he asked to use a conference room, where he met with beneficiaries of the David Ortiz Childrens Fund and other members of the community.I got the biggest kick out of just watching this stream of people coming through, Manfred said. Each one was a better story than the last.Manfred said he planned to talk to Ortiz about serving the sport in some capacity after he retires. Major League Baseball plans to run a commercial in English and Spanish during the playoffs that ends, Thanks, Big Papi! Youre not walking away, youre walking off.ON THE STREETMassachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said the bridge over the MassPike that leads from Kenmore Square to Fenway Park would be renamed in Ortizs honor; Mayor Marty Walsh said the city would do the same for a street that leads from the ballpark to another train station.The Red Sox Foundation and the teams owners have pledged $1 million to the David Ortiz Childrens Fund. He was also given a gold-plated bat.The governor said he was surprised to find that there was a bridge left in the state that hadnt already been named for someone -- and it was right next to the ballpark. It was a natural to dub it Big Papi David Ortiz Bridge.Walsh said the weekend was bittersweet.We have great memories, he said, and there are still great memories to be made.The Red Sox begin the playoffs on Thursday in Cleveland.
