The Baltimore Ravens are often gutted in free agency on defense year after year; but it really doesn’t seem to affect their performance on that side of the ball. In fact, retirement and coaching changes don’t seem to matter much either.
Since the 2003 season, the Ravens defense has had only one season in which it has failed to finish inside the top 12 in total defense. Oddly enough, the only season that they did not rank in the top 12 was their Super Bowl season in 2012 where they finished the year ranked 17th overall. Go figure!
