OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is trying to defy more than age. He's also battling NFL history.
Suggs, who turns 35 in October, showed how much he had left in Sunday's opener, when he sacked Andy Dalton twice and almost wrapped him up for a third time. That's an impressive start considering there have been only four players since 2000 to record double-digit sacks at the age of 35 or older, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
"He has the Benjamin Button disease," said defensive tackle Brandon Williams, referring to the movie where the main character ages in reverse.
