Why Terrell Suggs 'has that Benjamin Button disease'

Terrell Suggs began his 15th NFL season on Sunday. To see the Baltimore Ravens linebacker terrorize the Cincinnati Bengals, you wouldn't know Suggs had 14 years worth of wear, tear, wounds and scars.

The 34-year-old looked fresh as he harassed Andy Dalton play after play. Suggs was all over the field, compiling six tackles, two sacks and a tipped passed that led to an interception.

Watching the veteran play in the 20-0 shutout of a division rival, you would never guess he's turning 35 in a month.

"He has that Benjamin Button disease," defensive tackle Brandon Williams joked of Suggs after the win, via the team's official website.

(For those unaware, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was a 2008 Brad Pitt vehicle about a man who ages backward.)


The Ravens defense was every bit as good as we anticipated it'd be heading into the season. Baltimore got younger and quicker at every level. The ferocity with which the unit plays is like watching a hive of bees incessantly swarm an intruder.

While the youth movement in Baltimore is what makes the group so fun to watch, it's the savvy vet that still leads the way.

"Terrell Suggs played great," coach John Harbaugh said. "He was in the backfield pretty regularly. They had to hold him, had to grab him, had to tackle him. He was a huge factor in the game."

Suggs, a Defensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and six-time Pro Bowler, isn't interested in the praise that came from a simple Week 1 win.

"In Year 15, I've seen it all," Suggs said. "I've had all kind of starts, all kind of finishes. It's good to take one. We're going to enjoy it right now. But tomorrow it's on to Cleveland."

Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys

The San Francisco 49ers brought in Jimmy Garoppolo this week, and despite some viewing it as a chance to get a six- or seven-game tryout for the QB before paying him with either a lucrative long-term deal or an even more lucrative franchise tag, the Niners' brass made it fairly clear Tuesday they view the former New England Patriot as a franchise QB. One of the biggest reasons why? Per John Lynch,  Jerseys NFL Wholesale , coughing up a high second-rounder for a tryout is not something he'd do. "Honest to God, we need to get him in the playbook, that's where we're going to start, first things first. But I can tell you, second-round picks are very valuable in this league," the 49ers general manager said, "particularly where we are at as an organization, and so this is a guy you want and were willing to give what we thought was a very valuable commodity in exchange for him. So we're excited moving forward that he's going to be a part of our futu...
