Baltimore Ravens Tickets, 2009 Baltimore Ravens Schedule

Information

The Baltimore Ravens franchise became part of the NFL in 1996. Although originally the Cleveland Browns, the Ravens were forced legally to enter the league as an expansion team. When owner Art Modell announced the decision to move the team to Baltimore, the city of Cleveland fought to keep the team name, colors, and previous history there. Cleveland officials said by 1999 they would once again have a team playing there. Art Modell had no choice but to comply and so began the Baltimore Ravens.

During the Raven's young tenure they have made it to the playoffs five times and have one Super Bowl appearance and championship. Their Playoff appearances include 2000, 2001, and 2003. The Super Bowl victory came in 2000 after defeating the Broncos, Titans, Raiders, and eventually the New York Giants to become kings of the NFL for a year.

The Ravens are known for, and have relied heavily on, their hard-nosed defense. Led by all-pro and potential Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, the Ravens D' is year in and year out one of the best in the league. Their offense has been inconsistent for the past few years but with Le'Ron McClain and Willis McGahee running behind quarterback Joe Flacco, they have improved immensely. Last season the Ravens finished with an 11-5 record and advanced to the AFC Championship, where they were defeated by the Super Bowl champion Pittsburg Steelers. With the same veteran nucleus returning for their 2009 campaign, Baltimore should find themselves deep in the playoffs again hoping to claim their second Super Bowl title.
