An avid enthusiast, Nidheesh is a loyal fan of writing and conversations revolving anything remotely around sports. He enjoys watching games in a noisy ambiance with close friends and has a special liking for player interviews. Buffalo Bills is his all-time special NFL franchise but when it comes to athletes, he absolutely admires Aaron Donald for meeting style with substance. When he is not writing articles, Nidheesh listens to songs, takes short bike rides, and re-watches some of his favorite films.

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. 

The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.

Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.

Former Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-mahomes/] played at his best against the Baltimore Ravens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/baltimore-ravens/] in the AFC championship round. The Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kansas-city-chiefs/] took a first-half lead of 17-7 and never gave any chance to the Ravens to stage a comeback. QB Mahomes played like a champion and his move to save himself from a gruesome injury caught the eyes of NFL experts. Jordan Schultz shared the incredible moment on X. He wrote, “I can’t stress enough how incredible it is that Patrick Mahomes didn’t get injured on this sack.” Schultz further admired Mahomes, stating, “His ankle flexibility and sheer lower body strength is truly otherworldly.” In the shared clip you can catch the marvellous play. Patrick Mahomes got caught in a nasty hold by the Ravens’ defense. What looked like a sure-shot ankle injury turned into one of Mahomes’s best moves this season. What do you think about the move made by the QB?

As the day doesn?t end with a nice movie, my week doesn?t end without the NFL
game day. I never imagined that I would get hooked on the sport so much. I was a
big-time MMA fan but the early retirement of Khabib took out the competition and
has led me toward the NFL. The Chiefs and the Eagles are the teams that I love
the most. Kelce brothers? relationship on and off the field is the best thing
about the game for me. Although I have not spent much time at EssentiallySports,
I have connected with the fans with my articles so far. My way of writing is
quite simple; ?stats are sacred? is the motto. When I am not writing, I spend my
time doing my bit as an animal rights activist and love to trek through the
less-discovered trails. So if you want to reach out and talk about the NFL or
any of the above, feel free to make a touchdown!

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Baltimore Ravens Achievements</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Ravens have excelled in their short time in the NFL with six divisional titles, two conference championships, and two Super Bowl wins.?</span></p>

The Ravens cobbled a 12-4 record and finished in the six-team AFC Central behind Tennessee Titans.?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Over the course of the regular season, the team made waves over its robust defense that allowed opposing offenses to advance just 970 yards. They conceded just five rushing touchdowns, which stands as a </span><a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=IyzVf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400">record</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> for a 16-game NFL season.?</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">In the Playoffs, the Ravens? defense remained imperious, and only the Titans who played them in the divisional round could reach double digits.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"> On January 28, 2001, Baltimore decimated New York Giants 34-7 at Super Bowl <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101280nyg.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XXXV</a>.

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">He took a bold call to part ways with a Super Bowl-winning coach, but his new hire was justified.

However, he remained steadfast on wanting to play quarterback and the team gave him a chance.?</span></p>

Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report The Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer teams in the NFL and play as part of the AFC North division. They joined the NFL after moving from Cleveland to set up an extension franchise in the NFL?s now-defunct AFC Central division, ahead of the 1996 NFL season.? The move saw the city of Baltimore return to the NFL after a dozen years out. Their spell initially ended when the Baltimore Colts relocated to Indiana ahead of the 1984 NFL season. With a newly rebranded team, the city got behind the players wholeheartedly and stuck with them in their four seasons of struggle.? The third season (1998 NFL season) saw Baltimore Ravens move from the historic Memorial Stadium where the Colts played for 30 years to the new M&amp;T Bank Stadium.? Following the relocation, the team?s fortunes turned, and their three-season losing run ended. They finished the 1999 NFL season at 8-8 and in the next campaign; they proved to the league and the country that it wasn?t just a flash in the pan.? The Ravens placed second in the AFC North and proceeded to the playoffs with a 11-5 overall record. The franchise won the Wildcard Round Playoffs against the Tennessee Titans 20-13. However, they would fall in the Division Playoffs to the Bills. Jan 10, 2021; Nashville, Tennessee, USA; Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Baltimore Ravens Achievements The Ravens have excelled in their short time in the NFL with six divisional titles, two conference championships, and two Super Bowl wins.? Their first Super Bowl win as Baltimore Ravens came in the 2000 NFL season. The Ravens cobbled a 12-4 record and finished in the six-team AFC Central behind Tennessee Titans.? Over the course of the regular season, the team made waves over its robust defense that allowed opposing offenses to advance just 970 yards. They conceded just five rushing touchdowns, which stands as a record for a 16-game NFL season.? In the Playoffs, the Ravens? defense remained imperious, and only the Titans who played them in the divisional round could reach double digits. On January 28, 2001, Baltimore decimated New York Giants 34-7 at Super Bowl XXXV. Linebacker Ray Lewis claimed the Super Bowl MVP award. He would go on to feature in the franchise&#8217;s second Vincent Lombardi Trophy win a dozen years later.? The win was the genesis of the team?s rise in the NFL. They did not fade away and remained a consistent feature in the NFL Playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens have made it past the regular season in 11 of the next 19 seasons, following the Super Bowl triumph.? Owner Achievements The Baltimore Ravens are owned by Steve Bisciotti. He purchased part of the franchise ahead of the Super Bowl-winning season in 2000. Per the terms of the purchase, he had the option to buy the Ravens outright, and Biscotti exercised the option ahead of the 2004 NFL season.?? He took a bold call to part ways with a Super Bowl-winning coach, but his new hire was justified. John Harbaugh came on board in the same season as Joe Flacco. The duo combined to take the Ravens to a franchise-best four successive postseason appearances and one Super Bowl for the 2012 NFL season.? Lamar Jackson era The Baltimore Ravens made the most of many teams passing up on a Heisman winner and drafted him at #32 overall at the 2018 NFL draft. Lamar Jackson possessed supreme rushing skills, and many regarded him as a running back. However, he remained steadfast on wanting to play quarterback and the team gave him a chance.?

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Jackson got his chance midway through the 2018 NFL campaign when Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco sustained an injury.? In the team&#8217;s second season with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the team put together the best run of the NFL regular season. Their 14-2 record had them pegged as Super Bowl favorites. However, they lost in the first playoff round. Nevertheless, the quarterback became only the second player to earn the regular season MVP award with a unanimous vote.? The 2020 season saw Lamar Jackson aim to guide Baltimore Ravens to a third consecutive playoff appearance. His goal was to win a post-season game and lift the Vincent Lombardi Trophy. However, the Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Division Playoffs in a dismal 3-17 loss.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Baltimore Ravens Logo The Baltimore Ravens are a relatively new franchise. Yet they have hit headlines over their logo and had to shake things up near the turn of the century.? The issue arose as the Baltimore dweller was peeved at not getting credit for a design similar to what he had given to the franchise.? After the jury ruled against the franchise, they elected to craft a new logo. The Baltimore Ravens dropped the helmet theme and adopted the crest they use even today. Chiefly, the insignia features a raven looking to the right with the gold-tinted letter &#8216;B&#8217; plastered on the side of its head.? Baltimore Ravens 2022 Sponsors Morgan Properties announced a new partnership with Baltimore Ravens with an aim to increase visibility and grow awareness of its multifamily offerings among prospective Mid-Atlantic renters. Moreover, Postmates partnered up with the Ravens alongside the Los Angeles Rams. Postmates provided an assurance to deliver gameday meals throughout the season. Leidos also came out with an announcement to partner up with the Ravens to spread awareness about the ongoing opioid epidemic through the &#8216;Tackling Opioid Addiction&#8217; campaign. For every tackle made during the regular season, Leidos and the Ravens will donate $50 towards Baltimore area nonprofit organizations.

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.
