CLEVELAND -- The Ravens were in a huge hole and about to be buried.Joe Flacco dug them out.Flacco threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Mike Wallace and Baltimore, sparked by returning a blocked extra point, rallied from 20 down and beat the Cleveland Browns 25-20 on Sunday.Justin Tucker kicked three field goals -- the last with 2:56 left -- and the Ravens (2-0), who were down by nearly three touchdowns less than 10 minutes into the game, withstood Clevelands final drive to improve to 15-2 against the Browns under coach John Harbaugh.In his second game back after undergoing knee surgery that ended his 2015 season, Flacco again showed why hes one of the NFLs top quarterbacks and one of the games most unflappable leaders.Ive probably never been around someone as cool as Joe, said Wallace, who signed as a free agent this winter. Nothing ever bothers him.The Ravens scored 25 unanswered points and hung on when linebacker C.J. Mosley intercepted Browns quarterback Josh McCown at the goal line with 13 seconds left.It was a good way to end it, on defense, Mosley said. We just had to pull it out.Baltimore, which went an uncharacteristic 5-11 last season, was in danger of getting blown out after McCowns second TD pass to rookie Corey Coleman in the first quarter made it 20-0.But Ravens defensive end Lawrence Guy got a hand on Patrick Murrays extra point and rookie cornerback Tavon Young scooped up the bouncing ball and returned it for a rare, two-point defensive conversion -- a play that ignited the comeback.Nobody cracked. Nobody panicked, Harbaugh said. Nobody pointed a finger.It was the second-biggest comeback in Baltimores history, and Flacco told his teammates afterward he was proud to be part of it.It wasnt pretty, it wasnt great, he said. Do you want to play that kind of game in September? Not necessarily, but every single game in January and come February, where we hope to be, is going to be like that.McCown stayed in the game despite an injured left shoulder for the Browns (0-2), who were hurt by a missed field goal and three costly penalties in the fourth quarter.Cleveland was driving for a go-ahead TD in the final minute behind McCown, who completed a 20-yard pass to Terrelle Pryor to the Baltimore 10 with 27 seconds left.However, the big play was nullified because Pryor, who was held on the play by Webb, was called for taunting when he flipped the ball toward the Ravens defensive back.Webb said he wasnt sure if Pryor said anything.If he said some things, I guess the referee heard it, Webb said. They are real tough on those things now. Good call, thats what Im going to say.Pryor felt he did nothing wrong.Im just saying theres other people that can catch a ball and spin it and look at players in the face, Pryor said. But if I get up and drop the ball, clearly I wasnt trying to drop it on nobody.HEAVY HEARTS: The Ravens dedicated the win to defensive line coach Clarence Brooks, who passed away Saturday at 65 from cancer.Brooks joined Baltimores staff in 2005 and helped the Ravens develop one of the NFLs top defensive fronts. He spent time with the team during training camp.That was for Clarence Brooks, Harbaugh said. I think what the players did out there in his name says it all.HURTING QB: Filling in for Robert Griffin III who broke a shoulder bone in last weeks opener, McCown showed amazing heart in playing hurt.Following the game, McCown couldnt lift his left arm and his eyes welled with tears as he talked about staying on the field. He said his plan is to play next week against Miami, but the Browns may have to turn to rookie Cody Kessler.Id go to war with that guy anytime, Browns guard John Greco said of McCown. That guy gets the (stuff) knocked out of him seven, eight times a game, keeps getting up and making throws.STUNNING START: Nobody expected the Browns to do what they did in the first 15 minutes, which ended with them leading 20-2.It was the teams largest lead after one quarter since Dec. 3, 1961, when the Browns led Dallas 21-0 en route to a 38-17 win.BLOCK PARTY: Down 20-0 and needing something, anything, to get them going, the Ravens executed the blocked extra point, which Harbaugh said embodied his teams fight.Its the toughest two seconds in football, he said. Then a rookie (Young) is exactly where hes supposed to be in case it gets blocked, hes right there to scoop and score. Thats the kind of thing as a coach you feel really good about.AS THE CROW FLIES: Isaiah Crowells 85-yard TD run helped the Browns back finish with 133 overall. Taking a handoff up the middle, Crowell got an excellent block from fullback Malcolm Johnson, blasted through the secondary and went untouched for the second-longest TD run in Cleveland history.

Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short.Sir Bradley Wiggins believes Shane Sutton will be cleared of discrimination allegations and says his long-time mentor wants to return to British Cycling.Sutton stepped down as British Cycling technical director with 100 days to go to the Rio Olympics.The 59-year-old Australian had been suspended by British Cycling after it was claimed he made inappropriate comments about Paralympic cyclists, shortly after the independent review was announced into claims of sexism made by Jess Varnish. Sutton denies the claims.The independent review will conclude after the Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games.Sutton has been ever-present in Wiggins career, including his five Olympic gold medals, the hour record and his 2012 Tour de France win.And Wiggins, who won a British record eighth Olympic medal in Rio, reckons Sutton could return.He wants to come back, the 36-year-old said. I spoke to him two weeks ago and he said his life is pretty empty without this. I think he has the right to. Why not?I know Shane better than anyone and I believe hell be cleared.Varnish was dropped from British Cyclings Olympic programme after the two-woman, two-lap team sprint squad failed to qualify for the Rio Games, with British Cycling citing performance grounds.She subsequently alleged Sutton told her to go and have a baby, before others, including Victoria Pendleton, spoke out in support of Varnish. Multiple Paralympic champion Darren Kenny also claimed Sutton made derogatory comments about para-cyclists.Wiggins added: I dont want to dismiss the claims that have been made by certain people. But I understand more than anyone that there are two sides to every story.I dont see what evidence they can have, other than someone coming in and saying he said this to me, he said that. And I think the tone of how some things are said can be skewed quite a bit as well.And there are two ways you can take [something] on board when someone says something. And how its written isnt necessarily how its saiid.ddddddddddddiggins has two children, 11-year-old Ben and 10-year-old Bella. He says he and his wife Cath, a cyclist herself, have discussed whether they would wish their children to become involved in British Cycling.Wiggins added: If my daughter wanted to get into cycling, which she does -- she already races with my son -- would I be happy for her to go into British Cycling now? I 100 percent would be.This whole sexism thing, Id never, ever seen any sign of that, really.If Im completely honest I think theres a lot of bitter people that didnt make the grade, got the boot and they have now come out picking holes in things and this that and the other.I think for every one of those theres equally successful people -- the Laura Trotts of this world -- that have been successful, Becky James and that.The disruptive build-up does not appear to have hampered Britain too much, with four gold medals and two silvers from five events entered on the track so far. The womens team sprint is the one anomaly.Sutton deserves credit for the achievements of the riders, Wiggins says.All this stuff is a result of his work. He was in charge of it, Wiggins said. I came back to the track squad because he was in charge, he encouraged me to come back and I probably wouldnt have come back had it been somebody else in charge 18 months ago.Sutton has still been available to advise coaches and riders, including Wiggins, with whom he has been in regular contact by text message.Sutton sent Wiggins a message of inspiration the morning before Fridays team pursuit final, when Wiggins won his fifth gold and British record eighth medal in all.Its about going out and killing off your opposition now, Sutton told Wiggins. Youll become the greatest by the end of play because you are. The records come naturally if you dont chase them, just chase the opposition. ' ' '
