    TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS: SUPER BOWL XXXV (2000) & SUPER BOWL XLVII (2012)

    • Entering their 22nd year of existence, the Ravens have earned a playoff berth in six of the past nine seasons. Since head coach John Harbaugh’s arrival in 2008, Baltimore has posted the NFL’s fourth-most total victories (95), won the league’s second-most playoff games (10), advanced to an impressive three AFC Championship contests, and in 2012, captured the World Championship in Super Bowl XLVII.

    • The Ravens concluded 2017 preseason play with an undefeated record for the seventh time in team history and second-consecutive year. Baltimore’s defense ranked No. 1 in the NFL in total yards (206.3), rushing yards (66.8) and passing yards (139.5) allowed.

    • In 2016, the Ravens finished second in the AFC North with an 8-8 record (4-2 in division play) behind the 11-5 Pittsburgh Steelers, who advanced to the AFC title game. A heartbreaking, 31-27 loss at Pittsburgh in Game 15 eliminated Baltimore from the playoffs.

    • The 2016 Ravens played the NFL’s second-most games (tied, Hou. & NO) decided by 8 points or fewer, with Baltimore producing a 6-6 record in the contests. Three times the Ravens dropped games in which they surrendered fourth-quarter leads with under 4 minutes remaining.

    • Baltimore’s defense ranked seventh (322.1 ypg) in 2016, marking the 12th time in the past 14 years the Ravens boasted a Top 10 unit.

    Pos: S Ht: 5-11 Wt: 212 Exp. (NFL/Ravens): 5/1College: Oklahoma Hometown: San Diego, CA

    How important is it to you to maintain the Ravens’ defensive legacy? “There’s so much history here. We don’t want to be the group to let that down. We want to

    be the best in the NFL. If we execute, the rest will take care of itself.”Did that history attract you during free agency? “Definitely. I’m in it to win. I felt like the opportunity here to win was higher than the [other] options I had. I’m just happy I chose this spot. I don’t think I could’ve chosen a better place for me.”How are you adjusting to the East Coast? “It took me a while, at first. When I first got here and signed on March 9, it snowed that whole week. I just wasn’t ready for it; I didn’t pack for it. I had a rental car, and it got stuck. I didn’t know how to do anything to get it out. Eric Weddle actually had to come pick me up and take me to the facility.”If you could play any other position, which would you play? “Running back. I’m a running back playing safety – I’ve been saying that since I got in the league. Running back is what I’ve played my whole career, and when I got to Oklahoma, they moved me to defense.”Being a Raven means… “It means being the best person you can be day-in and day-out and trying to better yourself. It’s not just football here. Everyone – the players, coaches and staff – try to build you up as a man and as a person. It’s family here.”Go-to pump-up song? “Despacito – the original with Daddy Yankee.”Pre-game rituals? “If it’s a night game, I have to get in two games of Madden NFL. If it’s a day game, I drink a gallon of water before I go to bed, then half a gallon in the morning when I wake up.”Hobbies? “I like to play paintball.”You’re one of the best you know at… “Telling jokes.”Most memorable football moment? “The second game of preseason my rookie year [2013], I was the third-string safety, undrafted rookie. That Thursday, the guy ahead of me hurt his knee, so I became the No. 2. I came in in the second quarter, and in the second series that I was in, I got an interception. I was hyped about that. The last play of the game – to win the game – I had another interception. I had two in that game. It was the most defining moment of my career.”

    2017 SCHEDULE & RESULTS (4-0) KEY ADDITIONS & LOSSES

    2017 DRAFT CLASS

    SPOTLIGHT: TONY JEFFERSON

    FAST FACTS: 2017 FREE AGENTSCB Brandon Carr – 10th Season• Starting every game since entering the NFL in 2008, Carr’s 144-consecutive starts rank as the NFL’s longest active streak among all defensive players. (The 144 starts stand sixth among active NFL players.)

    T Austin Howard – Eighth Season• Seeing action in 76 career games (72 starts), Howard is a versatile player with the ability to play multiple positions. Of his 72 games started, 55 have come at RT, 16 at RG and one at LT.

    S Tony Jefferson – Fifth Season• In 2016, Jefferson’s 13 TFL led all NFL defensive backs (NYG’s Landon Collins was next with 9). The 13 TFL rank as the NFL’s most by a DB in a season since the stat began being tracked in 2008.

    WR Jeremy Maclin – Ninth Season• Maclin has produced 6,395 receiving yards and 46 TDs on 474 receptions during his career. He’s twice posted 80-catch, 1,000-yard receiving campaigns, doing so in 2014 (85 for 1,318) and in 2015 (87 for 1,088).

    RB Danny Woodhead – Ninth Season• Since he entered the NFL in 2009, Woodhead is one of four players (Jamaal Charles, Matt Forte & Darren Sproles) to produce at least 15 rushing TDs and 15 receiving TDs. (He has 15 rushing and 17 receiving scores in his career.)

  • 15-year veteran OLB Terrell Suggs on the Ravens’ defense:“It’s a new era of Ravens. I’m the Vader of the group – the last of my kind. I like that, but you can’t deny a C.J. Mosley, Brandon Williams, Eric Weddle or Tony Jefferson. The guys we have now are a new era of Ravens. It’s very fortunate for me to still be a part [of it], to be the last piece of that transition. It’s a good feeling, but it’s also exciting to see these young guys go out there and create the new era of Ravens with the statement they’re trying to make.”

    RB Danny Woodhead on joining the Ravens: “I wanted to come here because I believe in what this organization believes in, and that is winning. That is what my aspirations are. I hated these guys when I was in New England and lost the AFC Championship Game. Usually those are the teams you want to play for. I am so excited to be a part of the Raven culture and what it means to be a Raven. I see what it says on the wall – ‘Play Like a Raven.’ I am excited to play for this city, because it seems like my type of city – go out, work hard and blue collar.”

    DT Brandon Williams on what it takes to make the playoffs: “We have to learn how to finish – myself included. I’m definitely pointing more fingers at myself than anyone else. I take it to heart – stopping the run, getting to the quarterback and pushing the pocket. I have to be better.”

    CB Brandon Carr on if he agrees with John Harbaugh calling the secondary “dominant”: “That’s our mentality from Day One. Since we got together, the guys had a mindset of being the best group in the league. You have to work every single day for that. You can’t just talk about it. Every single day, we’re locked in, challenging each other and ourselves, to go out there and be our best.”

    Fox Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe on his prediction for the Ravens’ 2017 season:“The AFC representative for Super Bowl LII will be the Baltimore Ravens. I love what they have done – adding Jeremy Maclin. Breshad Perriman got healthy last year. I love Mike Wallace. I love the addition of Danny Woodhead. A year after the [knee] surgery, Joe Flacco will be even better. Defensively, this is the one team that no matter where they play them at, they never bow down to the Patriots. They come after [Tom Brady].”

    ESPN’s Pat McManamon on the Ravens’ offseason moves: “Building a successful unit via free agency can be difficult, but the Ravens’ trio of moves to shore up their defense have logic behind them. Retaining nose tackle Brandon Williams keeps one of the best players at his position in Baltimore. Adding [Tony] Jefferson and cornerback Brandon Carr strengthens the secondary. Jefferson was the best safety on the market; Carr has not missed a game since he joined the NFL in 2008. Baltimore spent almost $60 million in guaranteed money on these three players, but they are moves that should put the Ravens right back in the playoff hunt in 2017.”

    Defensive coordinator Dean Pees on OLB Terrell Suggs taking the younger pass rushers under his wing: “Suggs has been a leader on this defense [for a long time]. I think sometimes people didn’t always see it with Ray [Lewis] and Ed [Reed] around, but he was a leader even when those guys were here. I would have a meeting every Wednesday morning, and the four guys that I had a meeting with back then were Ray, Ed, Suggs and Haloti [Ngata]. That is a pretty good group; I should have taken a picture. But, I have always looked at him as a leader. Well, now he is the only remaining guy out of that group, and he is taking other guys under his wing. He is just doing a great job with them.”

    S Eric Weddle on playing with S Tony Jefferson: “No disrespect to any of the guys I’ve played with, but it’s nice not to have to explain why I do certain things or why I’m doing this in this coverage. From Day One, he already had a feel for how I play and how to work off me. … It frees me up a lot more mentally. I don’t have to tell him after each play why I did this, or before the snap, ‘Let’s do this.’ He already knows. That is just light years ahead of most guys I’ve played with. I’ve loved every guy I’ve played with, but he’s just on another level.”

    The Ringer’s Robert Mays on G Marshal Yanda making a case for the Hall of Fame:“He has become the NFL’s consensus best player at his position, and like past great interior offensive linemen, he’s done so largely in the dark. Yanda is one of the sport’s great talents, yet football fans outside of Baltimore barely know his name. In an age of unceasing information, he’s a walking contradiction: a future Hall of Famer hiding in plain sight.”

    NFL.com’s Kevin Patra on Baltimore’s defense: “That Ravens defense, though. Oh, boy. Like unrelenting waves crashing against rocks, the Ravens’ defense drowns opponents with swarming speed, smart athleticism, and

    smothering power. This has the potential to be the best defensive unit in the NFL this year.”

    Bengals 27, Ravens 10 • Jan. 1, 2017 at CincinnatiIn the final game of the 2016 campaign, the Ravens had a chance to finish with a 9-7 record, but instead concluded the season with a 27-10 loss to produce an 8-8 mark. After Baltimore went three-and-out on the opening series, the Bengals jumped to a 7-0 lead when RB Rex Burkhead, starting for the injured RB Jeremy Hill and Giovanni Bernard, raced to the end zone on a 5-yard run. The Ravens brought the score to 7-3 on a 30-yard field goal by All-Pro K Justin Tucker, who connected on his 38th FG of the season. Cincinnati stormed back with another TD drive, with QB Andy Dalton connecting on a 1-yard pass to TE C.J. Uzomah, ending the first quarter with a 14-3 lead. Two K Randy Bullock field goals (23 and 24 yards) were the only scores of the second quarter, giving Cincinnati a 20-3 lead at halftime. The Bengals’ second field goal was set up by an end zone interception by SS Shawn Williams. Ravens QB Joe Flacco had intended the pass for TE Dennis Pitta, but Williams made a TD-saving play. Baltimore cut the lead to 20-10 after a RB Kenneth Dixon 1-yard TD scamper midway through the fourth quarter. The Ravens’ comeback fell short after a Flacco fourth-and-5 attempt fell incomplete, giving the ball back to Cincinnati with 4:44 remaining in the game. Burkhead sealed the Bengals’ victory when he ran for his second TD of the day with 2:20 left in the contest. Burkhead’s 119 rushing yards led the Bengals, while Pitta’s season-high 11 catches for 91 yards brought his 2016 team-leading and single-season career-high receptions total to 86. Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. caught 3 passes for 34 yards in the final game of his illustrious NFL career.

    LB Ray Lewis - 2000 QB Joe Flacco - 2012 Super Bowl XXXV MVP

    In a magnificent effort showcasing thrilling performances by their defense, offense and special teams units, the Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV with a 34-7 victory over the New York Giants. Allowing the Giants a meager 152 total net yards, New York’s attack crossed midfield just twice, while Baltimore’s “D” posted 4 INTs. LB Ray Lewis was named the game’s MVP, capping an accolade-filled season in which he was also tabbed the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year.

    Super Bowl XLVII MVPBaltimore defeated San Francisco, 34-31, in Super Bowl XLVII, capturing the franchise’s second World Championship. After an amazing first-half performance, the Ravens took a commanding 28-6 lead. But following a bizarre, 34-minute power outage that halted play, the 49ers stormed back into contention. Clinging to a 34-29 edge late in the game, the Ravens stood firm on a pivotal goal-line stand, jamming SF on four-straight plays inside the 7-yard line. QB Joe Flacco was named the game’s MVP.

    John Harbaugh has led the Ravens to a playoff berth in six (2008-12 & 2014) of his nine full seasons in Baltimore, and in 2012, captured the franchise’s second Super Bowl title. Under his guidance, the Ravens have secured an appearance in three AFC Championships (2008, 2011 & 2012).

    Here are several Harbaugh quick hits:• The Ravens are one of seven teams with at least six playoff berths in the past nine seasons (2008-16): GB (8), NE (8), Bal. (6), Cin. (6), Ind. (6), Pit. (6) & Sea. (6).

    • The Ravens’ 10 playoff wins since 2008 rank second only to New England’s 11.

    • “Harbs” is the only head coach in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first four and five seasons.

    • John and his brother, Jim (formerly of the 49ers), are the only head coaches to advance to three conference title games in the first five years as NFL bosses.

    • Harbaugh is the only coach in NFL history to win a playoff game in six of the first seven seasons of a coaching career.

    • In 2012, Harbaugh became the third coach (with Bill Cowher & Chuck Knox) since the 1970 merger to guide his team to the playoffs in each of his first five seasons.

    • Harbaugh owns the second-most playoff wins (10, tied) by a coach in his first nine seasons (since the 1970 merger).

    • With the Ravens’ 2014 playoff berth, Harbaugh became one of eight coaches in NFL history to make the postseason in six of their first seven seasons coaching.

    • For coaches to make the playoffs in at least six of their first nine years, “Harbs” is one of five active coaches to do so (Pete Carroll, Mike McCarthy, Andy Reid & Mike Tomlin).

    • Harbaugh, Tom Landry (Dal.) and Tom Coughlin (Jax./NYG) own the most road playoff wins (7) by a HC in NFL history.

    John Harbaugh is the third head coach in Baltimore Ravens history. He is the franchise’s all-time winningest coach (95 total victories), with Brian Billick (85) ranking second. Coach Seasons Reg. Season Playoffs Total

    “John is the best coach I know, the best I’ve ever come across or competed against. I’m envious of the grasp he has of the entire game. I think offensively and with quarterback

    play, I’m right there with him. But I’ve got a ways to go in terms of special teams and understanding defense the way he does. I’m half as good as John is, but I’m trying.”

    - Jim Harbaugh on his brother, John

    John Harbaugh owns the sixth-best winning % (.597) among active NFL coaches, compiling a 95-64 record (including playoffs). For head coaches who’ve coached a minimum of 90 games, he’s fourth to Bill Belichick, Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin.

    RAVENS 2016 DEFENSE

    “Dean has a wealth of knowledge in understanding an offense and knows how to defend it. He is a terrific communicator and is always willing to accept feedback from players. He is a great talent evaluator and will put his players in the best position to succeed.” – GM Ozzie Newsome

    DEFENSIVE QUICK HITS4 The Ravens are one of three teams (Denver & Seattle) to finish in

    the Top 10 on defense in each of the past three seasons.

    4 Ranking seventh overall (322.1 ypg) in 2016, it marked the 12th time in the past 14 seasons that Baltimore boasted a Top 10 unit.

    4 In 2016, Baltimore extended its NFL record to 21-consecutive seasons of not permitting over 4.0 yards per carry (3.7 average).

    RAVENS “D” UNDER HARBAUGHDean Pees is another standout in a long line of great Ravens defensive coordinators, four of whom have gone on to become NFL head coaches: Marvin Lewis (1996-2001), Mike Nolan (2002-04), Rex Ryan (2005-08) and Chuck Pagano (2011).

  • The Ravens’ “20/20 Club” includes members of the team’s personnel staff who started with the Ravens as young assistants and grew into evaluators with more input. The term “20/20” refers to hiring 20-year-olds for $20,000. But according to Ozzie Newsome: “The guys actually started when they were a little older than 20 and for more than $20,000, but that’s what we call them.”
