"I think Yamon is the kind of returner that, as you have seen here before, you get him in space and he's exciting. He's dangerous. The thing that I need to do a better job as a coach is getting him that opportunity."

KOCH HONORED: Ravens punter Sam Koch was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

He averaged 52.2 yards per punt against the Cowboys with a long of 61 yards, also converting a fake field goal on a key first down to set up a touchdown.

Did he get the award for his punting or the nine-yard run?

"Hopefully, it was a combination of both," said Koch, a former high school fullback and linebacker who lowered his shoulder on his dash upfield. "It was really fun."

Koch was snubbed for the Pro Bowl, so this award is a small consolation prize.

"The Pro Bowl would have been really nice, but to go out there and help the team is really what it's all about," he said. "Hopefully, we can go the playoffs and win the Super Bowl."

QUICK HITS: The Jaguars haven't had a very good season, but do have good speed with linebackers Mike Peterson, Justin Durant and Clint Ingram. Middle linebacker Daryl Smith is out for the season. "We've got a couple of guys who played down there and the first thing they said to me was, 'These guys can run,'" offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. "They can play and you put a big front in front of them and it frees them up to make plays." ... Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he'll keep a close eye on the intensity of practice Friday after granting the players Christmas Day off. "We'll be interested because it's our job to be interested," he said. "It's something that the team wanted to do, they agreed to do and we're going to get our full complement of practices in this week. Friday's practice will be interesting to see how we handle it." ... Linebacker Terrell Suggs' sense of humor hasn't been lost on the coaching staff. "You can't help but laugh," Harbaugh said. "He's back there making comments about things that happen on the field. It's always football related. It's usually taking a jab at somebody. I try not to laugh. Sometimes, I'm really trying to stifle it, but it's impossible. It's energizing." ... It's sinking in for Flacco that he's the last quarterback to win a game at Texas Stadium. "I thought about it for a quick second after the game," Flacco said. "It's definitely pretty cool having all the guys that had played for the Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens and myself were the last team to win there." ... The Ravens are hosting a private reception Saturday for several former Baltimore Colts who played in the 1958 championship against the New York Giants, an event that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is scheduled to attend, and will have 15 former Colts at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday for a halftime ceremony. Raymond Berry is scheduled to give a speech and retired announcing legend Vince Bagli will introduce the players. ... The Ravens will send out the five Pro Bowl selections last during pregame introductions with middle linebacker Ray Lewis the final one out of the tunnel.  ... Kickoff specialist Steve Hauschka managed to get a football stuck high on the wall of the Ravens' indoor practice facility, booting a kickoff during drills. "I hope we can keep it up there," Rosburg said. "Velcro ball, I think."
