The Baltimore Ravens finished 8-8, and I guess Bill Parcells was right when he famously said you are what your record says you are. The Ravens were an average team. They had a good defense and a mediocre offense. They may have held opponents to 20.1 points per game but the offense averaged 21.4 points. Everything good that the defense did, was countered by the lack of achievement by the offense.
When the Ravens won the Super Bowl in the 2000 season they held their opponents to just 18 touchdowns. In 16 games they allowed just 18 touchdowns.
