The Baltimore Ravens offense has been inconsistent and the defense has carried the team to a 3-0 record. There was a time where this was the standard operating procedure for the purple and black. From 2000-2011 the Ravens were consistently a dominant defensive driven team. The Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV with a defense that was arguably the greatest defense of all time.
While a good defensive never goes out of style, it has been harder to win with just a great defense. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers mimicked what the Ravens accomplished in 2002. The Patriots Super first Super Bowl win was much more about a dominant defense than it was about Tom Brady.
