LONDON -- Mo Farah says he is prepared for anything his rivals throw at him ahead of the Rio Olympics after he set his fastest time in the 5,000 meters since before London 2012.Farah stormed home to victory in the Anniversary Games in 12:59.29, the best time in the world this year and his quickest since June 2012 in Eugene. It was a time that surpassed the 13:41.66 he clocked in the Olympics back in 2012 but despite the impressive showing, he is taking nothing for granted ahead of Rio.The double Olympian, who will defend both his long-distance titles at the Rio Games, says his rivals will try anything to destabilise his bid for a double, double in the 5,000 and 10,000.Trainings going well, Farah said. But one thing you cant forget is its harder for me to defend an Olympics, the reason being is the rest of the guys have four years of preparation to try and beat me.Anything can happen. They havent managed it yet but Im going to have three Ethiopians, three Kenyans and three Ugandans [in the race at Rio].Theyre going to try and do anything to beat me. I need to keep my feet on the ground and enjoy what I do.It was Farahs first 5,000 of the season and said he was satisfied with his performance as he posted a remarkable 56.95 second final lap.He added: It [the race] was alright. It was one of those things.People say Farah comes here and doesnt always do a time but for me, if trainings going well then everythings going well and Ill try.I did try today. It was nice to go straight to the front, by the pacemakers and see what I could do. And to come away with under 13 minutes is a decent time.The race served as Farahs farewell ahead of the Rio Games and alongside Usain Bolts 200 win on Friday, Farah was the star of the show at the Diamond League event at the Olympic Stadium. I love the crowd, I love the people, Farah said. I enjoy what I do. If I didnt enjoy it, then I wouldnt be running a decent time, I wouldnt be laughing and smiling -- I love what I do.Farah dedicated the win to his daughter Rhianna who celebrated her 11th birthday on Friday and he will now head over to the Pyrenees to complete his pre-Rio training camp alongside mens 1,500 runner Charlie Grice and Laura Muir, who broke Kelly Holmes British record in the womens 1,500 on Friday night.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Joe Flacco didnt care that Baltimore was playing the team with the NFLs best record, and John Harbaugh didnt seem to either.The quarterback and the coach believe the Ravens are up there with any opponent despite Sundays 27-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys that dropped them back to .500 -- but still tied for first with Pittsburgh in the AFC North.Oh, and Baltimore (5-5) has a win over the Steelers.Were definitely good enough to win any game we play in the National Football League, Harbaugh said. Our eyes go to next week against Cincinnati at home. Six-game season and we need to take care of our business, and part of thats improving.The Ravens forced punts on the first four Dallas possessions -- a first against the Cowboys this season -- and held NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott to 26 yards in the first half.But Dallas had scoring drives of 92 and 88 yards to start the second half, breaking a 10-10 tie. And the Ravens couldnt stop the Cowboys after Flaccos scoring pass to Steve Smith got them within a touchdown in the fourth quarter.Five straight scoring drives is impressive, Baltimore safety Eric Weddle said. Its the little things that count when both teams are good.Dallas rookie Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes, two to Dez Bryant , in his first game with Tony Romo as the backup. The Cowboys (9-1) have a franchise regular-season record with nine straight wins, topping the 1977 team that started 8-0 and won the Super Bowl.I am going to continue to stay away from it, said ever-optimistic Dallas owner Jerry Jones, whos been known to engage in Super Bowl talk in the past. I can hang my hat on this little thing called nine wins in a row.Things to consider after the Ravens lost to the Cowboys for the first time, a span covering five games:SMITHS MILESTONE: The 16th-year receiver can move on to trying to reach the postseason for the sixth time in his career after becoming the 14th player with 1,000 catches . He caught eight for a game-high 99 yards, including the 5-yard score and a toe-tapping gem for No. 999.Bittersweet, I guess, he said. Id give all that back to win, to be honest.THE ROMO FACTOR: The 36-year-old who brooke a bone in his back in a preseason game was active for the first time since last Thanksgiving, and was the backup for the first time in 10 years.dddddddddddd Now that those milestones are cleared, the Cowboys press onward with Prescott, who is second to Ben Roethlisberger (13 in 2004) for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback.There are distractions in life, coach Jason Garrett said. The people who are the best at what they do are able to focus on the task at hand.BLOCKING CAROUSEL: The Ravens protected Flacco well (one sack) and averaged 6.3 yards per carry in limited chances in the running game. Marshal Yanda switched from right guard to left guard with Alex Smith out with a high ankle sprain.Clearly, if you look at the game, we can play with them toe to toe, said center Jeremy Zuttah, the only lineman to play the same position all 10 games. We just have to clean up some stupid stuff.STEADY ELLIOTT: Elliott is proving to be reliable along with explosive , even against the NFLs top rushing defense. He persevered to finish with 97 yards on 25 carries, a 3.9-yard average. He has at least 92 yards in eight straight games, and broke Tony Dorsetts club rookie rushing record of 1,007 yards from the Super Bowl season in 1977.Its one more step to where we want to be, said Elliott, who has 1,102 yards. One step more to greatness.DAK AND DAN AND RUSSELL: Prescott joined Dan Marino and Russell Wilson as the only rookie quarterbacks since 1970 to have multiple touchdown passes in five consecutive games.UP NEXT:Ravens: They have a key NFC North matchup with the Bengals in the first of consecutive home games. Surging Miami follows.Cowboys: Dallas annual Thanksgiving game features the most traditional of opponents, the Redskins. The Cowboys will have a chance for a big cushion over Washington and Philadelphia in the NFC East, with the Giants hanging closer in second place.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
