Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the first year for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL?

Answer: 1996

Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell moved the franchise to Baltimore in 1996. After legal suits were settled, he was forced to leave the Browns name, colors, and history in Cleveland so that a Cleveland team could be reactivated in 1999, but Modell was allowed to retain the Browns players' contracts and thus started the Baltimore club.

2. In 2004, who did the Ravens original owner Art Modell sell the team to?

Answer: Steve Bisciotti

Bisciotti first bought 49% of Modell's share then in April 2004 he bought the remaining 51% of the team. Wilson, Irsay, and Kraft were all owners in 2004: Buffalo Bills - Ralph Wilson, Indianapolis Colts - Jim Irsay, and New England Patriots - Robert Kraft.

3. When it came down to voting on a team name, which one was not one of the last three to be voted on by Baltimore fans?

Answer: Rebels

A phone survey of 1000 people whittled the list down to three names, then a fan contest of over 33,000 voted on the name "Ravens".

4. Who was the first head coach of the Ravens?

Answer: Ted Marchibroda

After three losing seasons, Ted Marchibroda's win-loss record was 16-31-1. Prior to taking the reins of the Ravens, Marchibroda had been head coach of both the Baltimore Colts and the Indianapolis Colts. After he was fired, Brian Billick was then hired to take over the team.

5. What are the two main team colors?

Answer: Black and Purple

The Ravens add a little gold and white for trim and flair, but the main colors are black and purple. There was a logo lawsuit in the Modell era due to a copyright infringement issue. The Ravens organization lost the lawsuit and the logo that had a "B" shield was changed to a raven head with a gold "B" on it.

6. What was the first stadium that the Ravens called home?

Answer: Memorial Stadium

The Ravens have called only two stadiums home through the 2007 season. First, the Memorial Stadium for a couple of seasons, then the M&T Bank Stadium.

7. What was the first Super Bowl Championship for the Ravens?

Answer: XXXV

The championship game was played in Tampa, Florida on January 28, 2001, where the Ravens beat the NY Giants, 34-7.

8. Which Raven player was the Super Bowl MVP of the team's first championship win?

Answer: Ray Lewis, LB

Ray Lewis was the first linebacker to win Super Bowl MVP since 1971. Because of a legal controversy involving stabbings, murder, and obstruction of justice, when Ray won the MVP award, he did not get to reap the endorsement benefits that go along with it.

He also didn't get the trip to Disney. His teammate, quarterback Trent Dilfer, was awarded the trip to Disneyland. Ray was drafted in the first round by the Ravens out of the University of Miami in the Ravens inaugural season.

9. What university did 2000 NFL draft pick Jamal Lewis attend?

Answer: University of Tennessee

Jamal was the fifth overall pick in the 2000 draft. The Ravens drafted him in the running back position and he didn't prover them wrong. He rushed for over 1000 yards in his rookie season with the Ravens.

10. What was coach Brian Billick's win-loss record with the Ravens?

Answer: 80-64

Billick coached the team to their Super Bowl win vs the NY Giants. He played linebacker and tight end in college at US Air Force Academy and Brigham Young University. The San Francisco 49ers picked him in the 11th round of the 1977 NFL draft but he was cut by them and later the Dallas Cowbowys. He did not play in the NFL.
