TAMPA, Fla. - Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens were intent on getting their season back on track, and there was nothing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could do to stop them.Youre going to find out this is a very good football team, coach John Harbaugh said Sunday after Flacco threw for five touchdowns in just over 16 minutes to set the tone for a 48-17 rout of the struggling Bucs. And to play the way we did in a game thats kind of a business game, a game we need to win to do the things we want to do, it speaks a lot to who we are as a football team.Still smarting from a subpar road performance that ended a three-game winning streak, Flacco was nearly flawless against a defence that had no answers for Baltimores passing or running attack.Flacco threw for TDs to four different receivers and completed passes to five others as well. Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro contributed to a productive ground game.It was very enjoyable. You dont get those too often in this league. ... It was pretty crazy, Flacco said. It happened so quickly. It was such an awkward situation, but it was definitely fun for us.Baltimore (4-2) scored on six straight possessions to begin the game, with Flacco becoming the first NFL quarterback to throw five TD passes in the opening half since Tom Brady did it in 2009 on the way to New England beating Tennessee 59-0.Torrey Smith caught the first two, and Kamar Aiken, Michael Campanaro and Steve Smith followed for a 35-0 lead early in the second quarter.It was really surreal, and a lot of fun at that point, Flacco said. At that point, shoot, we were on pace for almost 16 touchdowns.Tampa Bay (1-5) trailed 38-0 at halftime and was embarrassed for the second time in six games under coach Lovie Smith. The Bucs were beaten 56-14 at Atlanta on Sept. 18, but rebounded from that debacle with a win over Pittsburgh and an overtime loss at New Orleans, outings that left Smith feeling his team was headed in the right direction.Theyre a good football team, and were not a good football team. Its as simple as that, Smith said after dropping to 0-3 at home.Weve all, Bucs offensive tackle Demar Dotson offered, got a lot of getting better to do.Flacco was sacked four times and Baltimore was just 1 of 11 on third-down conversions a week ago in a disappointing 20-13 loss at Indianapolis, however the offence was in synch from the very start against the Bucs porous Tampa2 defence.With help from Forsetts 52-yard run on the second play from scrimmage, the Ravens moved 80 yards in four plays to take a quick lead on Flaccos 15-yard scoring pass to Torrey Smith. His next three TD throws a€” 9 yards to Torrey Smith, 17 yards to Aiken and 19 yards to Campanaro a€” came on third-down throws.It was a great start, about as fast a start as youre going to get, really in all three phases. Harbaugh said. But for the offence to do what they did early ... its just historic.Steve Smith is Baltimores leading receiver, but was hardly involved until he beat cornerback Alterraun Verner deep down the left sideline for a 56-yard score that made it 35-0 just over a minute into the second quarter. It was the 14th-year pro seventh career TD against the Bucs.The Ravens said it also was the fastest a€” 16:03 a€” that any NFL player has thrown for five TDs in a game. When the Bucs finally stopped Flacco for the first time, forcing Baltimore to settle for Justin Tuckers 46-yard field goal midway through the second quarter, Tampa Bay safety Bradley McDougald raised his right fist in triumph.Flacco finished 21 of 29 for 306 yards with no interceptions. He was barely pressured by the Tampa Bay pass rush and was not sacked.The Ravens outgained the Bucs 347 yards to 101 in rolling to their big halftime lead. The Bucs broke through with a 47-yard field goal early in the third quarter and Mike Glennon threw touchdown passes of 17 yards to Mike Evans and 3 yards to Louis Murphy.Glennon went 24 of 44 for 314 yards, two TDs and one interception in his third start of the season for the Bucs, who lost Josh McCown to a thumb injury during its lopsided loss to Atlanta.In addition to Jimmy Smiths first-quarter interception which set up Baltimores second touchdown, the Ravens sacked Glennon five times for 37 yards.Steve Smith finished with five catches for 110 yards, his eighth 100-yard day against Tampa Bay, a team he tormented for 13 seasons as a member of the Carolina Panthers. Forsett rushed for 111 yards on 14 carries.NOTES: Pierce scored Baltimores final touchdown on a 4-yard run late in the third quarter. ... The Ravens Tucker had a 64-yard field goal attempt blocked on the final play of the first half. ... Tampa Bay was limited to 87 yards rushing. Doug Martin had 45 on 11 attempts, and ex-Raven Bobby Rainey carried seven times for 42.___AP NFL website:

Sam Bradford threw three touchdown passes, St. Louis added a score on defence and special teams and the Rams stunned the mistake-prone Texans with a 38-13 win on Sunday to win their second straight after dropping their previous three games. "I think everyone totally bought in," Bradford said of the turnaround. "I think if you look at the way weve played the past two weeks; its been a completely different mindset, a completely different attitude." The Rams (3-3) were up 24-6 early in the third quarter before rookie Daren Bates returned Keshawn Martins fumble on a kickoff return for a touchdown. Rookie first-round pick Alec Ogletree pushed the lead to 38-6 when he took an interception by T.J. Yates back 98 yards for a touchdown. Yates was in after Schaub sustained an apparent right ankle injury. Coach Gary Kubiak didnt have many details on Schaubs injury after the game, saying only: "Matts got a little bit of everything on that one leg." Schaub didnt have a turnover after throwing six interceptions, three of them returned for touchdowns in the past three games. But several other Texans had key gaffes as preseason Super Bowl hopeful Houston (2-4) lost its fourth straight game. "For the past few weeks the finger has been pointed in one direction a lot," Kubiak said. "But we sprung leaks all over the place today." The Texans had 95 yards of penalties, lost two fumbles and Yates threw two interceptions. Schaub had 186 yards passing and Yates finished with 98 yards passing. "We played our absolute worst football the last two weeks and weve got to change it," Houston safety Ed Reed said. Bradford was 12 of 16 for 117 yards. Rookie Zac Stacy had 18 carries for 79 yards in his second straight start. "To come out here and play a pretty much complete game was fun," St. Louis defensive end Chris Long said. "Offfense and defence were in complete sync.dddddddddddd" Brian Quicks 4-yard touchdown reception extended the Rams lead to 24-6 early in the third quarter. Rodney McLeod forced the fumble by Martin on the ensuing kickoff and Bates, an undrafted free agent, scooped it up and returned it 11 yards, diving into the end zone for the score. Schaub was injured on Houstons next drive when he was sacked by Chris Long. Some fans cheered while he was down after the injury, angering Houstons players. "For them to cheer about something like that, it just shows they have no class," Andre Johnson said. He was replaced by Yates. Schaub had thrown an interception that was returned for a touchdown in four straight games entering Sunday. Yates made it five in a row for Houston when his first drive ended with the interception return by Ogletree, who high-stepped his way into the end zone as the home fans serenaded the Texans with boos. The Rams took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when Cory Harkey grabbed a 2-yard touchdown pass from Bradford. Kareem Jackson received a 40-yard penalty for pass interference early in that drive. The Texans were driving later in the first when Ogletree forced a fumble by rookie DeAndre Hopkins which James Laurinaitis recovered and returned it 43 yards. The Rams capitalized on the fumble with a 42-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein to push the lead to 10-0 early in the second quarter. Houston cut the lead to 10-3 with a 20-yard field goal by Randy Bullock. Another 2-yard pass by Bradford -- this one to Lance Kendricks -- extended the lead to 17-3. An unnecessary roughness penalty on Brian Cushing for a late hit on Bradford helped that drive. Houston settled for another field goal just before halftime when Schaubs pass on third down fell incomplete to make it 17-6 at halftime. About the only highlight for Houston on Sunday was the play of Arian Foster, who finished with 20 carries for 141 yards. He added four catches for 57 yards. Ben Tate scored Houstons only touchdown on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.
