Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) North division.
Established in 1996, the franchise was founded after the controversial relocation of the Cleveland Browns team to Baltimore. The name "Ravens" was chosen in a fan contest and is a tribute to the famous poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, who lived and is buried in Baltimore.
The Ravens are widely known for having an historically strong defense, which was the cornerstone of their early success. They have won two Super Bowl championships: Super Bowl XXXV (following the 2000 season), led by a dominant, record-setting defense featuring Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, and Super Bowl XLVII (following the 2012 season).
They play their home games at M&T Bank Stadium. In recent years, the team's offense has become one of the league's most dynamic, primarily led by the unique, dual-threat abilities of quarterback Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP. The organization is generally considered one of the most consistently successful and well-run franchises in the NFL since its inception.
