This season the Fantasy Doctor will answer a few of our readers' fantasy questions on an almost daily basis, Monday through Friday.

For a few unworldly moments, the Ravens weren't a last-place team with pent-up frustrations and unfulfilled expectations.

When Matt Stover 's 44-yard field goal sailed through the uprights with 4:09 left in overtime, it sent the Ravens cartwheeling to a 16-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday before 70,601 people.

As soon as the Ravens' four-game losing streak had ended, players threw their arms up high and stormed the middle of the M&T Bank Stadium field. Stover, the venerable kicker turned giddy hero, was lifted into the air by long snapper Matt Katula.

Every time it seemed a victory over a division leader was within the Ravens' grasp, quarterback Kyle Boller put the ball in the hands of the Denver Broncos yesterday.

Boller's three troubling turnovers cost the Ravens in a 12-10 loss to the Broncos at Invesco Field, a ragged setback that causes ripples beyond the team's 10th straight road defeat.

Not only did Boller lose the game, he could have lost the confidence of his teammates as well as his starting job for next season.

In a performance that was equally bumbling and baffling, Boller single-handedly sabotaged an already struggling offense with inexplicably poor throws and decisions. It didn't matter how many times the Ravens marched into Denver territory -- and it felt like they spent most of the game there -- because Boller couldn't stop self-destructing, whether it was two interceptions or the one fumble.

OR NOT: The Orioles' offense has come alive in the last six weeks, the Orioles - s starting pitching is coming undone, as is the overworked bullpen.

How is this for irony? A statue of Johnny Unitas stands outside M&T Bank Stadium , serving as a reminder of the greatest quarterback who ever lived.

After nearly every drill at Ravens passing camp this month, outside linebacker Antwan Barnes sought counsel from a trusted source.

There will likely be a time when Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will have to sidestep blitzing linebacker James Farrior and make a tough throw past safety Troy Polamalu.

But before the team's high-profile rookie could think about playing the likes of the Pittsburgh Steelers, he first had to win a more important game - the one inside his head.

Since being drafted 18th overall two months ago, Flacco has been given a crash course on quarterbacking, one that has provided him with the foundation to compete for the Ravens' starting job.

The Baltimore Ravens kick off their 13th training camp at McDaniel College with two practices on Tuesday, July 22, and break camp on Friday, Aug.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Todd Heap says he's having fun learning a new offense, and he says putting in "a ton" of work to prepare for the upcoming season.

Heap is a two-time Pro Bowl selection but has missed 20 games over the past four seasons because of injuries. A hamstring injury kept him out of 10 games last season.

Coach John Harbaugh says it's good to see Heap running around and making progress.

Jonathan Ogden is expected to announce his retirement Thursday, ending a stellar career with the Baltimore Ravens in which the left offensive tackle garnered 11 Pro Bowl invitations and a Super Bowl ring.

The pass was perfect, and so was the reception. And the Ravens are hoping this is a sign of things to come.

Joe Flacco kept his arm in shape by throwing to a few familiar targets last week during his forced hiatus from the Baltimore Ravens' training complex.

There are times when it appears that new Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is being evasive about his plans, but he is in as much flux as some of the personnel he has been shuffling.
