Baltimore Ravens Tickets for Sale

The Baltimore Ravens survived their first test of the 2012 postseason by beating the Houston Texans 20-13 at M&T Bank Stadium in the Divisional Round. As they enter the AFC Championship this football team embarks on a different kind, of challenge. While the Texans played like close cousins, the Patriots are a team short on defense and long on offense. It is the battle of Ray Lewis vs. Tom Brady, a defensive warrior vs. an offensive mastermind.

Baltimore needs to get much more out of its own offensive unit. Flacco did not impress during the regular season and threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the Raven’s first postseason game. Anquan Boldin and Lee Evans made some spectacular catches. They will need to make some more of those, and they will need Ray Rice to come up with more than 80 total yards. Rice will have every opportunity to pick up more than the paltry 2.9 yards per carry and 5 yards per catch.

Despite the defensive billing, the Baltimore Ravens did not record a single sack against the Texans. They will need to get to Tom Brady in order to disrupt the Patriots offense, for Brady is no T.J. Yates and he has a multitude of weapons to distribute the football around the field of play. Luckily, Suggs, Lewis, Reddings, and Ngata are quite adept at finding the quarterback.

Baltimore Ravens History

Baltimore Ravens tickets have been available in Maryland since the 1996 season. While technically this was a brand new NFL franchise, the football team was really the result of a standoff between Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell and the city of Cleveland concerning the building of a new stadium. Modell then moved the Browns to Baltimore, but the NFL decided the team would officially relinquish any connection to the old franchise. Thus the Baltimore Ravens were born.

They would play at Memorial Stadium for a single season before M&T Bank Stadium was completed. Though Modell had a new stadium, he did not have a powerhouse football team yet. The Ravens rebuilt itself as a defensive stalwart with a conservative offensive strategy based on minimizing turnovers and eating up the clock. The result was a win in Super Bowl XXXV, with the Ravens decimating the Giants 34-7 after a one of the most dominant runs through the AFC side of the postseason. The Baltimore Ravens have remained a defensive power since, but have been unable to create quite the concoction of perfection that punished quarterbacks, offensive lines, and running backs alike in 2000.

Still, this team remains stingy with Ray Lewis seemingly permanently entrenched as the middle linebacker and Ed Reed forcing turnovers as safety. Since that Super Bowl season, fans have always expected Raven tickets to be tickets to see a postseason-bound NFL team, and for the most part they have been correct in that assumption. The Ravens have reached the playoffs as the AFC North champions or the wild card six times in the 10 seasons.
