- Head coach John Harbaugh and former quarterback Joe Flacco are the first coach and quarterback duo to win a playoff game in each of their first five seasons in the NFL.
- The Baltimore Ravens won their second Super Bowl in 2013 in what has been dubbed “The Blackout Bowl” when a partial power outage suspended play for 34 minutes.
