Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have built their identity on bone-crushing defense and a blue-collar toughness that mirrors their city. Playing at M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens have become one of the AFC's most consistently competitive franchises since entering the league. Purple and black define the team's look, while the raven itself nods to Baltimore's literary icon, Edgar Allan Poe. Few teams in football combine physicality and pedigree quite like the Ravens.

The Ravens were established in 1996 after Art Modell relocated the original Cleveland Browns franchise to Baltimore, with the Browns name and history remaining in Cleveland. Anchored by a legendary defense led by Ray Lewis, the Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV in the 2000 season with a dominant defensive performance against the New York Giants. A second title came in Super Bowl XLVII following the 2012 season, an Ed Reed and Joe Flacco-led win over the San Francisco 49ers in the famous 'Harbaugh Bowl.' The franchise has remained a perennial AFC North contender behind stars like Lamar Jackson.
