CHARITY FIRST Houston owner Bob McNair, who's got a struggling team on his hands and a beleaguered coach, contributed $2.7 million to the hurricane relief fund at halftime of a 27-7 loss to the Steelers. That's priority. STEPPING UP Six days after taking a helmet to the chest, Eagles QB Donovan McNabb not only played against the 49ers, but also tied his career high with five TD passes. That's leadership. BACK IN GROOVE Steelers WR Hines Ward had a quiet opening week after getting a lucrative contract extension, but caught two TDs in the first half at Houston.

SCORE: Titans lead 16-3 QUARTER -- Fourth, 12:01 remaining SITUATION -- Ravens' ball, second-and-10 at their own 15-yard line PLAY -- Faced with another long-yardage situation, the Ravens come out with three receivers, with Mark Clayton (89) lined up in the slot. Quarterback Anthony Wright (2) takes the shotgun snap and looks for Clayton on the quick slant. Linebacker Brad Kassell (55) makes the perfect read and steps in front of Wright's throw at the 21-yard line. Kassell is untouched until Wright trips him up at the 2 and Kassell falls into the end zone for the Titan's second touchdown.

QB D Joe Flacco was intercepted twice, and a third was nullified. He had trouble completing outs to wide receiver Derrick Mason as the Ravens had no long or intermediate passing attack. OL B The Ravens had 132 rushing yards on 38 carries, and Flacco wasn't sacked. Overall, the Ravens did a solid job on a defensive line that had been dominating. WR C Flacco spread the ball around as Mason had five catches for 38 yards to lead the group and tight end Todd Heap and wide receiver Mark Clayton each had four catches.

HOW THE GAME WAS WON The Ravens earned the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with ball-control offense and ball-hawking defense. Their offense dominated time of possession, controlling the clock for 36 minutes, 21 seconds (compared to the Bills' 23:39). Their defense scored the Ravens' only touchdown when cornerback Chris McAlister returned an interception 31 yards for a score in the third quarter. DOMINATING DEFENSE The NFL's top-ranked defense has held six of its past seven opponents to one or no touchdowns.

1 -- RAVENS 0, 49ERS 0 No first downs for 49ers Neither offense sparkled but the Ravens managed to scrape together five first downs compared to the 49ers' zero. Running back Willis McGahee rushed five times for 29 yards, but the Ravens could not cross midfield. The 49ers got as far as the Ravens' 46-yard line, but no further. Scoring NONE 2 -- RAVENS 6, 49ERS 0 Long drives, two field goals San Francisco finally scrabbled together a first down, but the Ravens' defense continued to lock down the 49ers.
