The Ravens compete in the National Football League (NFL) in the AFC North division against rivals Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cleveland Browns. The team plays its home games at M&T Bank Stadium in front of 71,000 football fans. The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell, who was then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocate the franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore. As part of a settlement between the league and the city of Cleveland, Modell was required to leave the Browns’ history and records in Cleveland. With a record-breaking defensive unit in their 2000 season, the team established a reputation for relying on strong defensive play, led by players like middle linebacker Ray Lewis, who, until his retirement, was considered the “face of the franchise.”
