History

Historical Context

After the Ravens' 2000 season set an NFL record by allowing only 165 points and delivered Super Bowl XXXV glory under Ray Lewis and coach Brian Billick, the franchise built a reputation for defensive dominance. Today, owner Steve Bisciotti and quarterback Lamar Jackson are reshaping the offensive line and negotiating a $90 million deal, hoping to echo that championship blueprint.
