The Baltimore Ravens are fighting for the No. 1 seed in the AFC after playing good football for the majority of the 2023 NFL season. The team has clear Super Bowl aspirations, and will continue to fight to achieve their ultimate goal.
Unlike other successful teams in the league, Baltimore hasn’t gotten consistent respect as a team that is viewed as a threat. Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said that they take the disrespect with a grain of salt, and that the team likes to do their talking with their pads.
“We take it with a grain of salt. There’s got to be a narrative made, and if we’re on the wrong side of it, so be it. But we don’t really care about that, honestly. I know I don’t, and I know a lot of guys on the team [don’t]. Speaking for everybody else, I assume that we’re all in the same mindset in the sense that we only have control of what we do, what we say, and we talk with our pads. So, like I said, we still have to go out and play a football game. No matter how much we want to talk about it, no matter how much we want to say we’re underdogs or this and that, [that we’re] overhyped [or] whatever, we still have to go play a game. So, that’s what it comes down to.”
