Leading by a touchdown with the clock winding down, the Baltimore Ravens successfully ran out the games final 11 seconds on fourth down by intentionally committing holding penalties against all nine Cincinnati Bengals?players who rushed their punter, giving Sam Koch the time to dance around the end zone before finally conceding a safety.I tried to mention that was the best safety ever taken, and what I meant was, it was the best-executed safety ever because we kept him clean the whole time, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after his teams?19-14 victory. But [linebacker?Terrell Suggs] says nothing can top the Super Bowl safety.Suggs was referring to the safety that clinched Super Bowl XLVII -- which, not coincidentally, came on the very same playcall. Back then, the Ravens decided to punt from their end zone while clinging to a five-point lead against the San Francisco 49ers with 12 seconds remaining.Harbaugh ordered a play that called for his punt protectors to intentionally hold the 49ers rushers, giving his punter, Koch, a better opportunity to kill time before stepping out of bounds for a safety.There was no downside to that decision, or the one Sunday. The Ravens would either give up two points or have to punt again after a minimal markoff for a holding penalty.They probably wouldnt have been able to do it two plays in a row if there had been time left on the clock. Referee Clete Blakeman could have declared it a palpably unfair act, and the clock would have been restored to its original time if they had tried it again.Bengals cornerback Adam Jones called it a smart play, and Koch said it worked even better than it did in the Super Bowl.We know what we did wrong in the Super Bowl, he said, and we kind of learned from it and just made sure that everybody did what they needed to and hold on as long as they could and ended up winning the game.He said the team practices the play, and everyone knew that a penalty would not lead to an untimed down as long as a hold wasnt in the end zone.With [special-teams coach] Jerry [Rosburg] and Harbaugh, even though it may only happen once or twice in four years, its something that we practice yearly, and we make sure we have all of our stones unturned, and when situations like that arrive, we can have them at our disposal, Koch said.?ESPNs Kevin Seifert, Jamison Hensley and Katherine Terrell contributed to this report.?

BOSTON -- One streak will end when the slumping Colorado Avalanche visit the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.The Avalanche are 0-5-1 in their past six games, but the franchise last lost in Boston in 1988 when it was still the Quebec Nordiques. That is a 10-game streak that would end if the Avalanches current troubles continue.Colorado, dead last in the NHL with only 19 points, spent the day in Boston on Wednesday, getting in a practice while the Bruins were playing in Washington.The workout took place, but four players were back at the team hotel because of illness, including captain Gabriel Landeskog, who was supposed to return from a nine-game absence caused by a lower body injury but was suddenly deemed doubtful for the second game of a four-game trip.The Avalanche, who fell to 9-14-1 with a 4-3 loss in Nashville on Tuesday night, will get defenseman Fedor Tyutin back from a two-game absence caused by a lower body injury. If Landeskog doesnt play Thursday, he should return in Montreal on Saturday.I dont know what that (illness) does for Landeskog, coach Jared Bednar said. Im assuming now after feeling sick and not getting that contact practice in (Wednesday) that hell be another game, and well have to feel that situation out (Thursday) morning.Colorado defenseman Francois Beauchemin also missed the practice, nursing a sore hand.Bednar thought his team played better in Nashville, but the result was the same despite two goals by Matt Duchene, his eighth and ninth of the season, all on the road.While the Avalanche come into the game on a losing streak, the Bruins are 3-0-1 in their past four. They came all the way back from three goals down before losing in Washington on Wednesday as goaltender Tuukka Rask fell to 0-5-4 against the Caps.ddddddddddddAfter digging the huge hole, the Bruins dominated the game, at one point holding Washington without a shot on goal for some 26 minutes. However, a faulty line change in the OT led to Nicklas Backstroms winner.Just goes to show that youve got to trust the system, stick with it, and good things will happen, Rask said after the game.Said coach Claude Julien: I think it was a real good effort by our hockey team tonight. Probably at the end you think you deserve better, but against a team like that, you take the point and move on because weve got a game (Thursday) night and I think its important for us to get out of here and start focusing on (Thursday).With Rask playing Wednesday -- and keeping his team in the game when the Caps took a 2-0 lead -- it is likely backup Anton Khudobin will be in goal Thursday night. Khudobin won his last start, Dec. 1 against the Carolina Panthers in overtime -- the first win of the season for a Boston goalie other than Rask.Khudobin is 1/3 on the season, and he is 1-1 in two career starts against the Avalanche.Calvin Pickard, who has never faced the Bruins, will bring a 7-4-2 record, a 2.44 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage into the game, shining numbers next to Semyon Varlamovs 5-12-0 with a 3.08 GAA.The Avalanche tied the game at Nashville three times before losing on a five-on-three, power-play goal.For me, that was the hardest we played -- that was the best game we played in a couple weeks, Bednar said. We had some chances to square that game up, and it was a tough way to fall behind on the five-on-three. ' ' '
