4000: A passing number the Ravens have only broken twice
Brett Davis-USA TODAY SportsThe Ravens inaugural season featured a team that won few games, but had one of the best passing offenses Baltimore has seen. Throwing to Michael Jackson and Derrick Alexander, quarterback Vinny Testeverde finished the season with 4177 yards (backup Eric Zeier had 97 yards) on 59.2% passing, with 33 touchdowns and 19 interceptions. Those 4274 yards by the two Ravens quarterbacks would be the only time the team compiled over 4000 yards at the quarterback position, not to mention the only year the team featured two 1000 yard receivers over the first 19 seasons.
