The Baltimore Ravens are having fun playing football and are playing dominantly in the process. The team has a 12-3 record, and the vibes are at an all-time high with the team.
“You said it, not me.” (laughter) “I didn’t say that. Like I say, I’ve been doing it a long time. It’s just … It’s not about putting the spotlight on yourself or anything like [that]; it’s just about having fun. It’s very hard to score touchdowns in the National Football League. It’s about having fun [and] bringing that joy back. When you were a kid … I’m sure you wanted to celebrate when you were a kid when you scored – like, everybody wants to celebrate – and I’m sure all the other 10 people on the field are just as happy that you scored, as well. So, it’s just about having fun. At the end of the day, this is football, this is the game that we love. Aside from the business aspect and all the other things that go with it, it is the game of football that we love, so sometimes you’ve just got to be in the moment and enjoy it.”
One of the players who has been a culture setter this season for Baltimore is veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who signed with the team in the 2023 offseason. He was asked about the team’s celebrations and how much he’s had to do with them improving and he said that it’s about having fun.
