OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Quarterback Joe Flacco accepted blame for a struggling offense that has held back the Baltimore Ravens for the first half of the season.Im obviously not playing good enough, Flacco said Wednesday after the teams final practice of the bye week. Were not a good offense, and it starts with the quarterback. I got to be better.The Ravens (3-4) rank 25th in the NFL in scoring with 19 points per game, and Flacco is the 29th-rated passer in the NFL (75.4). In Baltimores current four-game losing streak, Flacco has had the ball in his hands in the final two minutes and has failed to deliver the winning drive each time.Coach John Harbaugh vehemently defended Flaccos play.Joe Flacco is the key to our success. So, we need to all do everything in our power that all the things are falling in place for him, Harbaugh said. He can play. He can throw it. He can make decisions. He can score touchdowns for us. He can do all the things we need to do. We need to make sure that we give him a chance to do that.The Ravens have scored 10 offensive touchdowns this season. Only the Houston Texans have fewer.Part of the inconsistencies on offense is due to injuries. Flacco and the Ravens have been without their top receiver in Steve Smith Sr. (ankle) and their best two linemen in guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) and tackle Ronnie Stanley (foot) for a chunk of the season. The Ravens expect all of them to be ready to play after the bye.As a result, the Ravens have struggled with poor blocking, penalties, dropped passes and interceptions.When youre an offense in this league and things arent going great, a lot of times you can be so close, and I think we are on that verge of being really close, Flacco said. But its a bunch of little things, and its not just one thing. Its things that add up. Thats why this game is an awesome thing: 11 guys have to be fully locked in for 60 minutes in order for it to work. Nobody notices that. We dont even notice it when were out there playing, but it is the reality of it.Harbaugh reasserted that hes a Joe Flacco fan and believes in him.Joe will take care of what he needs to do, Harbaugh said. Im not worried about Joe taking care of what he needs to do. Joe works on it harder than anybody. He cares about it more than anybody. We need to protect him. We need to run routes. We need to create confidence in our passing game. We need to run the ball well. We need to do the things we need to do to make the offense work. And Joe will make the offense work. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Jonathan-Ogden-Jersey/ .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Danny-Woodhead-Jersey/ . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Michael-Pierce-Jersey/ .

NEW YORK -- Technology industry leaders have urged NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to move the All-Star Game out of Charlotte unless a North Carolina law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people is repealed in very short order.In a letter sent Friday and obtained by The Associated Press, the executives tell Silver that putting fans at risk of discrimination would send a terrible message about who the NBA is and what it values as an organization, and set a dangerous precedent.If the NBA holds events in North Carolina while HB2 remains law, players, employees, and fans will be at risk of discrimination -- and thats wrong, the letter said.The All-Star weekend is set for next February. Silver has made it clear the league needs changes to the HB2 law in order to stage the weekend there but has resisted setting any deadlines for when he might act, believing positive dialogue is ongoing.However, he has said a decision probably would have to be made this summer.The letter was sent by SV Angel founder and co-managing partner Ron Conway and includes signnatures from executives from companies such as Google, Reddit, PayPal, Lyft and Pinterest.dddddddddddd They ask the NBA to be a strong ally to the LGBTQ community and use its considerable might to bring advocates into those conversations and press for full repeal of the law.The NBA has nothing to lose by taking a stand alongside hundreds of other companies and showing support for its LGBTQ players, employees, and fans, the letter said.A number of entertainment acts have canceled North Carolina events because of the law, and Silver has already received calls for the NBA to do the same. The letter comes from some people who might be at All-Star weekend -- the league holds a tech summit as part of the events.Discrimination is bad for the league, bad for people and bad for business and we hope you will join us in sending that message, loud and clear in North Carolina, the letter said.NBA owners are holding their annual offseason meeting this week in Las Vegas.
