Prior to the arrival and rise to stardom of Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens often played the role of the perpetual underdog. Even though they were a tough out almost every year, they were never the media darlings because their offenses over the first quarter-century of the franchise were hard to watch and abysmal at times, which led to a lot of low-scoring affairs.
The Ravens have not only been accustomed to being overlooked and underrated through the years, but they have thrived in that role. They have managed to rise to the occasion time and time again and never back down from the challenge of facing the overwhelming favorites in any regular season or playoff game.
