The Baltimore Ravens have long been known as a physical, punch-you-in-the-mouth kind of team, suited for the rough-and-tumble AFC North, and not afraid of any challenge that came their way. It was a reputation built on brawling rivalries with the Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Pittsburgh Steelers, and refined on clashes with the New England Patriots and, of course, still those Steelers from Pittsburgh.
Coaches Brian Billick and John Harbaugh both embraced their roles as leaders of bullies, and the Ravens won a ton of games — and two world championships — by fielding physical defenses, good run games and big plays from all three phases of the game.
