The Baltimore Ravens entered the 2020 season as Super Bowl contenders. After two consecutive seasons making the playoffs and coming off a season in which they earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Baltimore fell short once again, losing to the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. Was that good enough for the Ravens and should their season be considered a success?
As we look back on the team’s expectations and the end results, the answer is yes. While every team has an ultimate goal to win the Super Bowl, sometimes it doesn’t take a championship to have a successful year in the NFL. Though Baltimore didn’t win a Lombardi Trophy, the season was a smashing success in other ways.
