OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Clarence Brooks, who served as a defensive line coach with the Baltimore Ravens for 11 years, has died at the age of 65.The Ravens announced that Brooks died Saturday in Weston, Florida. He had esophageal and stomach cancer.Brooks joined the Ravens in 2005. He coached the defensive line until this spring, when he underwent treatment for his illness. He transitioned into a senior defensive assistant role, but occasionally spent time with the team -- including at training camp this summer.His 24-year career as an NFL coach began in 1993 with the Chicago Bears. He also served as an assistant with Cleveland in 1999 and at Miami from 2000-04.During his 11-year run as overseer of Baltimores defensive front, the Ravens allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns and second-fewest rushing yards per game.We loved that man, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. One of the finest coaches I have ever met, he changed the lives and influenced players and coaches for the better.General manager Ozzie Newsome said, Very few, if any, coaches influenced their players -- on and off the field -- like Clarence Brooks.Before coming to the NFL, Brooks coached in college at Arizona, Syracuse and Massachusetts.He played guard at UMass from 1970-72 and was a team captain in his final season.Born in New York on May 20, 1951, Brooks attended New Bedford (Mass.) High School, where he lettered in football and track and field.He was the sweetest man Ive ever met in football, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Fifteen years ago, the Minnesota Vikings hosted a Monday night game and beat the New York Giants with three touchdown catches by Randy Moss.Same matchup, same site, but this time Moss will be on the sideline in a suit and tie.Theres no mystery, either, about where his loyalty still lies.I know its going to be fun to be back and see these boys remain undefeated, said Moss, now an ESPN analyst at age 39 who is four years removed from his final season in the NFL and 12 years out from his last full season with Minnesota.The Vikings (3-0) will face the Giants (2-1) for the sixth time in their series on a Monday night. This will also be the second prime-time kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium, two games into the sparkling $1.1 billion buildings history.Two weeks ago, the Vikings beat rival Green Bay 17-14 to break in their glass-fronted, ship-shaped new venue.I was a little excited for it and felt the energy from my own house, said Moss, who shared his enthusiasm on Instagram that day before the game . So I know its going to be loud.Moss played for five teams in all. He made his mark with the Vikings after they drafted him in the first round in 1998 following his slide down the board due to character concerns. Moss created his share of conflicts and controversies in Minnesota, and his second stint in 2010 ended after four games in spectacularly implosive fashion. But the lanky, loquacious wide receiver never lost his love for the franchise. Naturally, after Moss landed his new job with the ESPN crew, he quickly circled the game at Minnesota on his calendar.Im more of an old-school guy, closing in on 40 years old, Moss said on a recent conference call. Im excited to see the fans and the new stadium. ... But all my memories lie with the old Metrodome.The Giants will bring with them a talented, talkative pass catcher who perhaps reminds Moss a little bit of himself .Odell Beckham Jr. has 19 catches for 280 yards through three games for the Giants. But he hasnt scored a touchdown yet and was agitated throughout his much-hyped matchup against cornerback Josh NNorman in a loss to Washington last week.dddddddddddd Beckham had to be confronted on at least two occasions by new coach Ben McAdoo about keeping his poise.Thats passion, man. Theres other ways I guess that people show it, but man, he wants to make plays. He wants to make plays, Moss said, adding: That man really wants to get up in that end zone. When he gets up in that end zone, thats when hes allowed to strut and dance and do all that other stuff. So I understood his frustration, but at the same time, be able to control it and hold it.The Giants are depleted at running back, with Rashad Jennings (thumb) listed as questionable and Shane Vereen (triceps) out for the season. But theyve got enough downfield threats for quarterback Eli Manning with Beckham, rookie Sterling Shepard and a resurgent Victor Cruz that this will be an intriguing matchup with coach Mike Zimmers defense.Its going to be a test, said Manning, whos 2-5 in seven career starts against the Vikings, with five of his 14 interceptions returned for touchdowns. Our receivers have to get open at times. We have to run the ball well and get in good down and distance. Its a combination of a lot of things. They have a good third-down blitz package. We have to be prepared for a lot of things.The Vikings harassed the last two NFL MVP award winners in the last two weeks, totaling 13 sacks against Green Bays Aaron Rodgers and Carolinas Cam Newton, but theyre not any more comfortable facing Manning. Their 49-17 victory at home last season was aided by the absence of Beckham and the elimination of the Giants from the playoff chase earlier that day.I dont rate guys or rank guys or anything like that, but I mean the guy has won two Super Bowls, Zimmer said. He knows where to go with the ball. He gets it out quick. Hes got good footwork. Hes always a big challenge to play.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
