IN QUOTES

“I just remember getting hit, and laying on the ground, seeing stars. It was a pretty good shot, but I feel a lot better now.”

AKILI SMITH

Bengal quarterback, on being sacked by Baltimore’s Rob Burnett.

“I’m going to be short. You saw the game. Congratulations to the Ravens. They played a heck of a football game and we didn’t play very well at all. I’ll just leave it at that. Thanks.”

BRUCE COSLET
