NFL: BALTIMORE (2-2) at SAN FRANCISCO (2-2) <h3>Dilfer to start for 49ers against Ravens</h3> Baltimore (2-2) at San Francisco (2-2) Sunday 4:15 pm EDT SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Trent Dilfer makes his first start innearly two years Sunday, when the offensively-challengedSan Francisco 49ers host the Baltimore Ravens. Dilfer starts in place of Alex Smith, who is expected to misstwo weeks after suffering a right shoulder separation on thethird play of last week's 23-3 loss to Seattle Seahawks. Dilfer took over, but completed only 13-of-33 passes for 128yards with two interceptions. He could only lead the 49ers toone field goal. It was Dilfer's first action since Week 12 of the 2005 season,when he was with the Cleveland Browns. Dilfer is with his fifth team, having also played with TampaBay, Baltimore and Seattle. He led the Ravens to a Super Bowltitle following the 2001 season. Dilfer hopes for better protection as he was sacked five timesby the Seahawks last week. The 49ers are badly in need of a spark as they rank last in theNFL in offense, averaging only 213.2 yards per game. They wontheir first two games despite gaining less than 200 yards ineach one. San Francisco could be the perfect remedy for the Ravens, whoseusually stout defense has been inconsistent in the first quarterof the season. The Ravens rank a mediocre 18th in scoring defense, yielding22.5 points per game. They surrendered 27 points for the secondtime this season in last week's 27-13 loss at Cleveland. 49ers coach Mike Nolan is familiar with the Ravens' defense,having served as Baltimore's defensive coordinator from2002-2004. Nolan's defense ranked third in the NFL in 2003. The teams have split two meetings, with the Ravens drubbing the49ers, 44-6, in the last contest in 2003.
