The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for the 2024 season with high expectations in the AFC, poised to challenge Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for supremacy once again.
With the offseason acquisition of Derrick Henry, the Ravens boast a dynamic offense that promises to keep opponents on their toes, complemented by their perennially formidable defense.
Ray Lewis, a cornerstone of the Ravens’ Super Bowl triumphs, played a pivotal role in both championship victories. In Super Bowl XXXV, Lewis spearheaded a dominant defensive display, earning himself the game’s Most Valuable Player honors.
The Ravens’ success in 2000 was largely attributed to their record-setting defense, which allowed the fewest points and rushing yards in NFL history for a 16-game season, while also forcing the most turnovers. Lewis’ stellar performance earned him the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
Lewis, revered as one of the greatest Ravens of all time, retired after the 2012 season, culminating his illustrious career with a Super Bowl XLVII victory.
However, tragedy struck last summer when Ray Lewis III, the Hall of Fame linebacker’s son, tragically passed away from an accidental overdose in June 2023. Autopsy results revealed a lethal combination of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in his system.
A recent report suggests that there may be direct links between Lewis’ son’s untimely death and his involvement in football.
