Things sure have changed a lot for the Ravens – seemingly overnight. There was a time when playing before a national audience under the spotlight of Monday Night Football, wearing all-black unis, while fighting for a playoff spot in late November, would inspire a raucous, sold-out crowd.
The noise would be deafening. It would disrupt opposing offenses, limit their playbook and trigger drive-disrupting false starts or delay-of-game penalties. Not anymore.
M&T Bank Stadium has become MT Bank Stadium.
Surely Steve Bisciotti noticed. How could he not?
Perhaps he’ll blame the civil unrest in crime-infested Baltimore for the empty seats; maybe the player protests will share in the blame.
