Think some of your favorite players deserve to make the Pro Bowl this year? With the Pro Bowl ballots out it's time to make that happen. Last season's game included a bunch of Ravens, but no real newcomers. It's time to put your voting shoes on and get Joe Flacco into the game for the first time. Everyone in Baltimore knows that Derrick Mason deserves

I came across this video today of the Ravens' playoff win over the Patriots last season and I must say, it's awesome. These on-the-field, "mic'd-up" videos always provide the viewer a point of view that the T.V. coverage doesn't show. It's fun to watch John Harbaugh act like a little kid out there and watch him actually dish out the Gatorade shower at the end

1. Only 10 of Billy Cundiff's kickoffs have been returned this season. In comparison with the rest of the league, 16 of Stephen Gostkowski's kicks and 19 of Sabastian Janikowski's have been returned. (try saying that five times fast) 2. Cundiff has racked up more touchbacks through six games than the 13 the Ravens had in both 2008 and 2009 combined. 3. With two more

ESPN 1.Steelers - "If a rusty Ben Roethlisberger is good for three TDs, wait until the QB gets in midseason form." (Walker) 2. Jets - "Rex Ryan enters the bye week with what he bragged about -- the league's best record." (Clayton) 4. Ravens - "Road losses to New England and Cincinnati prove this team still has room to grow." (Walker) NFL Fanhouse 1. Jets

Maybe I'm still just a little bitter about the Ravens' loss Sunday against the Patriots. Or, maybe I'm still just confused over the play calling with the 10-point lead. I thought I was over it and ready to look towards this upcoming Sunday against the Bills, but then I saw this. At around 55 seconds into the video we get a look into the Ravens'

In his latest entry titled, "Week 6 power rankings: Yes, Ravens again," NFL.com's Jason La Canfora ranks the NFL and like the title, he has the Ravens yet again in his number one spot. How could that be you may ask? Canfora credits the Ravens remaining schedule as their biggest strength in the second half. "Baltimore - Already played at New England, Jets, Steelers and

The Patriots are the NFL's best third-down offense with a 55.3 percent success rate. On the other hand, the Ravens lead the league in third-down defense, only allowing their

On the NFL's website they compiled a video of all the Joe Flacco highlights from the Ravens' 31-17 win over the Broncos last Sunday. The best part about this video is that you get to hear audio clips of Flacco on the field getting pumped up and interacting with other Ravens' players in and out of the huddle. The video shows a side of Flacco

John Harbaugh: On how much a threat the Patriots' newly-signed wide receiver Deion Branch will be: "It's going to be interesting to see how they plug Deion in there. Obviously, we don't know. It's not something we're going to know. We know Deion. The players know him. We've studied him, obviously, since they signed him. We can speculate all we want, but we won't really

If you were wondering why the Ravens didn't wear pink gear last week to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month you weren't alone. Well, the Ravens wanted to wait one more week so they could celebrate it at home where, along with the Ravens' players and coaches, the fans could participate too. They are encouraging fans to wear as much pink as possible and even have

John Harbaugh On what makes Kyle Orton such an effective quarterback: "[The Broncos] probably have, obviously, one of the most effective passing games in history through four games. Kyle has been around. He's got a real good scheme. They do a nice job in terms of mixing things up, protection-wise, route-wise. You get a lot of different stuff, and they have a lot of different
