Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore, Maryland. They are currently champions of the Northern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL).

Team History
During the 1995 season, Art Modell, owner of the then-Cleveland Browns, decided to move the team to Baltimore. This created a controversy in Cleveland, that was settled with the NFL determining that the franchise could move, but the Browns name, color, and franchise records would remain with Cleveland. The team was, for all intents and purposes, an 'expansion team'.

Ted Marchibroda was hired as the first coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Marchibroda was well known for coaching the former Baltimore Team, the Colts.
