The Baltimore Ravens may not be the oldest franchise in the world—they are actually one of the youngest—but that doesn’t negate the impact of yesterday’s 44-7 defeat by the Jaguars in London as the biggest loss in franchise history.
Well, actually it was tied for the biggest loss—that is, the most lopsided on the scoreboard—since the Ravens were initiated as a franchise in 1996. In case anybody is wondering, their history does not include the old Browns’ records, which were inherited by the new Browns. It was part of the agreement that allowed Art Modell to relocate the team.
