The rich tradition of professional
football in Baltimore returned in 1996 when the league awarded
the team to the city. The unique nickname was inspired
by the poetry of former Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe.
A veteran team that had already played as a unit took the field
and avoided the usual growing pains of a new team. Success
followed soon thereafter highlighted by a victory in Super Bowl
XXXV.
