and the league's highest-scoring offense is precisely why 36-year-old Terrell Suggs still gets a kick out of playing football.Suggs and the Baltimore Ravens' top-ranked defense take on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in an intriguing matchup of first-place teams."They're the kind of explosive offense that gives you nightmares Andrus Peat Jersey ," Suggs said. "We get to play football against one of the premier quarterbacks. It's going to be a good, fun game."Suggs had one of Baltimore's 11 sacks last week in a 21-0 rout of Tennessee. The Ravens (4-2) are allowing an NFL-low 12.8 points and 270.8 yards per game and have given up only 12 second-half points."There's really no weakness," Brees said. "They do so many things well."The Saints (4-1) come off a bye with a four-game winning streak. New Orleans is averaging an NFL-best 36 points per game behind Brees, the league's career leader in yards passing with 72,103 yards ."It's definitely going to be a task there, but we're up for it," said Suggs, a seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker. "We like this game. We get the chance to compete against as good a team as there is."The prospect of facing the Saints and the 39-year-old Brees is enough to make Suggs feel young again."He's been here longer than me, so I won't be the old guy," Suggs said with a smile. "But definitely, I mean that just goes to his experience. He's mastered his craft. He's not showing age; he's just one of those ferocious, deadly quarterbacks in our league."Brees is 0-4 lifetime against the Ravens. When the teams last played, in November 2014, Suggs had six tackles and a sack in Baltimore's 34-27 victory."He's the ageless wonder," Brees said of Suggs. "He's still playing at such a high level deep in his career, and man, he's been doing it so well for so long. I'm obviously aware of that they are the only team that I haven't beaten, but they've always had a great team."Some other things to know about the Saints-Ravens game:DEVELOPING DEFENSEThe Saints' defense stumbled out of the gate, but has looked markedly better in the previous two games. New Orleans yielded averages of 421 yards and 34.3 points through its first three games, but allowed fewer than 300 yards and 20 points in each of the past two.The improvement could stem from increasing comfort within the scheme of a few new players, including veteran linebacker Demario Davis and rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport.New Orleans has been — at least statistically — the NFL's best against the run, allowing just 71.4 yards per game. One reason is that opponents have gone to the air on nearly two-thirds of their offensive plays against the league's 30th-ranked pass defense.HELLO, OLD FRIENDRavens wide receiver Willie Snead was once one of Brees' favorite targets. He left for Baltimore as a restricted free agent during the offseason Authentic Tyeler Davison Jersey , and now is catching passes from Joe Flacco."It's great to see him doing well and doing the things I'm sure a quarterback like Joe appreciates," Saints coach Sean Payton said.Snead intends to trade jerseys with Brees after the game."Absolutely," Brees said. "He's a stud, man. I love Willie."ELUSIVE ACHIEVEMENTBrees is trying to become just the third QB in NFL history to defeat every team in the league, joining Brett Favre and Peyton Manning.Now in his 13th season with the Saints after five years with the Chargers, Brees is still searching for a victory against the Ravens."I would love to beat these guys," Brees said. "You always know it is going to be a slugfest."HOME AGAINComing off a three-game road trip, the Ravens play four of the next five at home, where they're 61-21 since coach John Harbaugh arrived in 2008."We get to play in front of our home fans, so that's going to be exciting," Suggs said. "It feels like it's been forever since they got the opportunity to see us play."EMERGING TARGETSIt took three games for free-agent acquisition Cameron Meredith to make his first catch with New Orleans and four games for third-round draft choice Tre'Quan Smith to make his initial reception.Now it appears as if they've got the hang of it. Smith had touchdowns of 62 and 35 yards against Washington, and Meredith had five catches for 71 yards, including a 46-yard gain. Their emergence has strengthened a receiving group led by Michael Thomas, who leads the club with 46 catches for 519 yards.AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints face an unusual challenge this weekend.They'll try to keep up with an offense every bit as potent as their own 鈥?and do so against one of the top-rated defenses in the NFL.Saints coach Sean Payton said dealing with the Los Angeles Rams' eighth-ranked defense will be a tall order in itself."It presents a ton of problems," Payton said. "First off, the talent when you're talking about some of the top tackles and ends in the business 鈥?that that in itself is difficult. And then when you put it with an outstanding scheme, then you really have a challenge."Brees said Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh comprise the best interior defensive line he's faced since he was at Purdue and played a Georgia team fielding Marcus Stroud and Richard Seymour in the 2000 Outback Bowl (Georgia won, 28-25)."At this level, it's really unheard of to have Suh and Donald in there," Brees said. "Those guys are unbelievable."Donald and Suh have combined for 13 sacks, with Donald getting 10.The Saints so far have held up well against the pass rush. Brees has been sacked nine times and generally has had enough time to make accurate throws. He was intercepted for the first time Sunday night in Minnesota when an edge-rusher was unblocked and closing quickly on him.Offensively, New Orleans ranks eighth in yards per game and second in points per game at 33.4. Brees' passing numbers have gone down lately, but more because of New Orleans' ability to run the ball more and control the clock with Mark Ingram returning from his four-game suspension.The Saints are 3-0 since Ingram's return and have won six straight overall after losing to Tampa Bay in the season opener.But the unbeaten Rams rank second offensively in yards per game (442.6) and have averaged 33 points Terron Armstead Jersey , which rank third.Brees sees similarities between the Saints when he and Sean Payton first joined forces 13 seasons ago, and the Rams under 32-year-old offensive-minded head coach Sean McVay and 24-year-old Jared Goff, the 2016 top overall draft choice."We like to feel like over the last 13 years that we've kind of been at the forefront of offensive football ... taking the personnel that you have and being able to utilize it in some really unique ways," Brees said."You can't help but turn on the film and be intrigued by the things that they're doing. Obviously, I think Jared Goff is playing as well as anybody right now. He's got a bunch of weapons there at the receiver position that are lighting it up, Todd Gurley, one of the best backs in the league."Brees said that while he doesn't know McVay well, he said the Rams coach's youthful energy, enthusiasm and offensive background remind him of Payton to some extent, starting with the fact they both played quarterback in college and had offensive backgrounds as NFL assistants before their first head coaching jobs."What I've seen from his offenses and what I hear about him is there's a lot of those same traits, and it makes it really, really fun to play for a guy like that, because it makes it exciting and it gives you a ton of confidence," Brees said.Brees also said it is apparent that the pairing of McVay with Goff "was a great match."Saints defensive end Cam Jordan said his unit should be confident in its ability to slow Los Angeles if it plays largely mistake-free schematically and tackles well throughout, especially against Gurley."When we're able to execute at a high level, I don't think there's anybody on the field that can stop us. We have to be able to do that for all 60 minutes though," Jordan said.Notes: Saints rookie defensive end Marcus Davenport missed practice because of a toe injury. He did not confirm reports that he would be out for about a month, saying he's seeking multiple opinions and hasn't ruled out playing against the Rams on Sunday. He played with the injury at Minnesota, where he had two sacks, giving him a total of four through his first seven NFL games. The injury occurred during his sack of the Vikings' Kirk Cousins in the third quarter. Davenport said he had to play differently afterward, and tried to "not think about it and just go out there and try to ball and take as many chances as I could." cheap football jerseys
