About Baltimore Ravens
In their 17th year of existence, the Baltimore Ravens are the only NFL team to earn a playoff berth in each of the past four seasons (2008-11). Since Head Coach John Harbaugh’s arrival in 2008, Baltimore has won at least one playoff game each year and has advanced to two AFC Championship contests. The Ravens, who won Super Bowl XXXV during the 2000 campaign, have also captured three AFC North titles – most recently in 2011 when they swept the division (6-0) and produced their first-ever undefeated season at home (8-0).
