OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Playing for the first time since early October, Elvis Dumervil proved to be a difference-maker for the Baltimore Ravens in a 19-14 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.Dumervil recovered a second-quarter fumble, and his sack of Andy Dalton resulted in a late fumble that sealed the victory for first-place Baltimore (6-5).I said Id be happy to see him out there making plays, coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday, and right on cue he did it.A five-time Pro Bowl linebacker, Dumervil has been slow to recover from offseason foot surgery. Playing in only his third game of the season, he showed no sign of injury on the field against the Bengals.Later, however, Dumervil felt the pain.It was hard walking up the stairs with my baby girl after the game, he confessed. That was pretty difficult.Difficult is a good word to describe this season for Dumervil, a standout pass rusher who set a Ravens record in 2014 with 17 sacks. A two-time Associated Press All-Pro, Dumervil has 97 sacks since entering the league in 2006.This marks the first time since 2010 that Dumervil, 32, hasnt played at least 14 games. After undergoing surgery on his foot over the summer, he fully expected to be ready for the season opener.He missed three games before getting his first action on Oct. 2. Dumervil played the following week, too, but didnt have a single tackle in either game.The first time around, the strength wasnt there, he said. So we went back to the drawing board and were able to come up with a game plan. Give credit to the training staff and the weight room guys.Five weeks of treatment, lifting and angst culminated with a performance last week that essentially served as his season opener.Ive still got to get back in football shape in a sense, Dumervil acknowledged. Theres a lot I can work on to get better at. But I am a little fresher, Ill say that.The return of Dumervil gives Baltimore a solid pass rush on both sides of the line. Terrell Suggs and Dumervil teamed for 29 sacks in 2014, and on Sunday they accounted for all three of the Ravens sacks.He adds to our arsenal. You definitely want a guy like Dumervil back on the field, Suggs said. We love having him back.Its been an uphill climb for Dumervil, whose only previous brush with a serious injury came in 2010, when he tore his pectoral muscle in August and was placed on injured reserve. Although the foot injury lingered far longer than expected, Dumervil always expected to return.As a competitor and a winner, sometimes you think youre invincible. And then you get humbled, he said. I cant control things I cant control. What I could control is going out and doing my rehab, eating right, working out and doing the things necessary to be a pro. Thats what Ive done.Dumervil and the Ravens on Sunday face the streaking Miami Dolphins, who have won six straight . In five games against Miami, Dumervil has 13 tackles, 4+ sacks and a forced fumble.For the most part my body is on track, Dumervil said.

TORONTO -- Terrence Ross helped the Toronto Raptors put a stop to the Milwaukee Bucks comeback effort.After seeing Milwaukee cut a 26-point deficit to just 10 after three quarters, the reserve swingman scored the first seven points of the fourthto key a 14-2 run and the Raptors pulled away for a 122-100 win Monday night.It was the Raptors sixth straight victory over the Bucks, and their 12th win in the last 13 meetings.We had to pick up our intensity, Ross said after finishing with a season-high 25 points. They made their push, they made their run just like everybody else is going to do, and we had to come back and make ours, and I think the second unit helped do that.While DeMar DeRozan led the way with 30 points in the victory, the Raptors benefited from strong shooting from throughout the lineup. Toronto shot 50.6 percent from the field and 56 percent from 3-point range, improving to 7-1 this season when they shoot 50 percent or better from the field.While acknowledging the contributions of Ross, Toronto coach Dwane Casey tipped his cap to the play of point guard Kyle Lowry, who had 18 points and seven assists, for finding the teams shooters in stride.Kyles doing a good job when theyre trying to blitz him and kicking it out and guys are making shots, Casey said. Like Ive always said when we were struggling shooting, its a make-or-miss league and guys are doing a good job stepping into them with conviction and taking good shots.After losing a third straight game, Milwaukee coach Jason Kidd was less than impressed. Though Giannis Antetokonmpo had 30 points, his fourth 30-point game of the season, Kidd watched as his team missed its first 13 3-point attempts and finish the game shooting 16.7 percent from beyond the arc.After briefly having a lead, Milwaukee gave it up at the 2:52 mark and never came close again. Kidd said his team had made it too easy for one of the NBAs best teams.It was easy the whole night, no matter 3s, layups, (the Raptors) were in character the whole night from the start, he said. We werent, we just didnt put up any resistance, our defense was non-existent.And while seeing DeRozan getting 30 points is hardly new -- it was his 12th such game this season -- Jabari Parrker, who had 27, said his team shouldnt be letting a player like Ross burn them.ddddddddddddYou can let other players get their rhythm still, but him, nothing against him, we cant let the wild card get us like that, he said.TIP-INSBucks: Despite making 10 or more 3-pointers in their last three games, Milwaukee was held to just 4 of 24 from beyond the arc by Toronto. ...
