OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens wont apologize for beating three teams that have one win between them, and they make no excuses for an offense thats produced only four touchdowns in 12 quarters.What matters to coach John Harbaugh and his players is that the Ravens are 3-0, alone atop the AFC North and putting a good deal of distance between themselves and the squad that went 5-11 last year.Baltimore is one of only five unbeaten teams in the NFL, a distinction that might be more significant if its victories didnt come against Buffalo (1-2), Cleveland (0-3) and Jacksonville (0-3). While Harbaugh acknowledged that its too soon to get an accurate read on the strength of his team, he made a point of quoting an esteemed former coach in assessing the current state of the Ravens.Bill Parcells says you are what your record says you are, Harbaugh said Monday. I was reminded about that last year by you guys quite frequently. So Ill remind you: Its a pretty good statement.This Sunday, the Ravens will attempt to go 4-0 for only the second time in franchise history when Oakland (2-1) comes to town.Theyre a contender in the AFC, Harbaugh said.Maybe the Ravens are, too.Whats most impressive about Baltimore thus far is its ability to win close games. During the miserable 2015 season, the Ravens six losses by six points or fewer included an agonizing 22-20 defeat at home against Jacksonville.In the rematch Sunday, Baltimore pulled out a 19-17 win . Justin Tuckers fourth field goal, a 54-yarder 1:02 remaining, turned around a game in which the Ravens committed three turnovers and were flagged for eight penalties.One week earlier, Baltimore rallied from 20 points down to beat the Browns. That followed a 13-7 win over Buffalo in the opener.Last year we lost a lot of close ones, defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan said. Its good to come out on the other side of it.Maybe its the good karma that John and Jim Harbaugh, currently head coach at Michigan, have seemingly experienced throughout much of their lives.When we go to the mall, we dont start with the parking spaces in the back row, John Harbaugh said. We drive right to the front row. Theres going to be someone pulling out. Yeah, the place is packed and it might say no parking available, but someones going to leave as we come in. Its just always worked out that way for us.Its been that type of season thus far for the Ravens, who last year fell into the habit of losing close games.Now, after winning three games by a total of 13 points despite having nine field goals compared to four TDs, the Ravens are beginning to believe theyre going to win the tight ones.You gain a certain confidence in terms of knowing that you can do it, Harbaugh said. When you start having some good things happen for you, like our team has, maybe you can build on those things.That doesnt mean Harbaugh isnt working to make the Ravens better. There will come a time when Baltimore will need touchdowns, not field goals, to win. And three turnovers per game is usually a prescription for failure.I am confident the touchdowns are going to come, Harbaugh said.Although the Ravens have thrown 118 passes and rushed only 76 times, there will be no balanced attack in the future. Joe Flacco will continue to sling the ball, and running backs Justin Forsett and Terrance West will be used simply to keep the opposition guessing.I dont think were going to be 50/50, Harbaugh said. But you have to be able to run the ball to not be one-dimensional. Were not happy with our running game in that sense. Weve got to force people to defend the run because that opens up your passing game.The Ravens came out of Sundays game relatively healthy. Rookie guard Alex Lewis is in concussion protocol, Harbaugh said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Joe Hassett Jersey . LUCIE, Fla.

CINCINNATI -- Vontaze Burfict was a non-entity during preseason, not even getting on the field while the Bengals figured out how theyll do without him. Now that hes gone on a three-game suspension, they wont talk about him, either.The Bengals put their combustible linebacker on the suspension list Saturday as part of their moves to get down to the 53-man roster limit. Burfict got a three-game suspension from the NFL following his hit to receiver Antonio Browns head during Cincinnatis playoff meltdown against the Steelers last season.Coach Marvin Lewis didnt play him during the preseason, allowing the defense to get accustomed to his absence. Lewis abruptly cut off questions about the linebacker on Saturday during a conference call after the team made its roster moves.Were not going to discuss what Vontaze can and cant do, Lewis said. Were not going to talk about anything to do with Vontaze. Hes no longer on the team right now.Burfict missed the first six games last season while recovering from knee surgery. He started the final 10 regular-season games, plus an 18-16 playoff loss to the Steelers. Burficts hit to Browns head on an incomplete pass drew a personal foul that moved the Steelers into range for the winning field goal. The NFL suspended him for that hit and several others during his career that drew fines.Cincinnati allowed the second-fewest points in the league last season and brought back the majority of the unit.The Bengals placed defensive tackle Marcus Hardison on injured reserve with a shoulder injury on Saturday as part of its moves to reach the roster limit.dddddddddddd They have a couple more moves yet to make with injured players.They kept running back Cedric Peerman and rookie cornerback William Jackson III on the roster for now. Peerman is their top special teams player -- he made the Pro Bowl last season -- and is expected to recover from a broken left forearm. Jackson, their top draft pick, tore a pectoral muscle but could be healthy enough to play during the season.Teams can designate an injured player who is eligible to return after eight weeks if hes cleared medically.We feel that William Jackson and Ced Peerman, from what weve been told, have an opportunity to possibly come back at some point during the season, so were going to try to keep that option open for us, Lewis said.Hardison was a fourth-round pick last year, when he was slowed by a knee injury and wasnt active for games. He was hoping to earn a spot in the Bengals line rotation, but suffered a shoulder injury during the third preseason game.Its a shame when a guy has to go through that two years in a row, Lewis said.Cincinnati released veteran cornerback Chykie Brown and waived 18 players, most of them rookies.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
