They are members of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Ravens were established in 1996, when Art Modell, then-owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to relocatethe franchise to Baltimore. As part of a settlement between Modell, the city of Cleveland, and the other NFL team owners, Modell was required to leave the Browns’ history and records in Cleveland for a replacement team and organization that would be established by 1999. In return, he was allowed to take his own personnel and team to Baltimore, where such personnel would then form an expansion team. The Ravens have qualified for the NFL playoffs eleven times since 2000, with two Super Bowl victories (Super Bowl XXXV in 2000 and Super Bowl XLVII in 2013), two AFC Championship titles (2000 and 2012), 15 playoff victories (9th all-time), four AFC North division titles (2003, 2006, 2011, 2018), and are currently one of only four teams to have never lost a divisional playoff game.
