If you're looking for omens this weekend, try this one: The Ravens' first road victory since the franchise moved to Baltimore came in Giants Stadium on Sept.14, 1997. Not even the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa could ruin this one for the Ravens, who went 0-8 on...

Some things often get overlooked in translation, especially during games like the Eagles' season-opening 38-3 blowout of the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Donovan McNabb threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns. Hank Baskett, Greg Lewis and rookie...

For a city that had waited patiently for more than a decade for the return of pro football, for so many whose last memory of the NFL in Baltimore was of watching their beloved Colts roll out of town under the cover of darkness, 1996 was a very good year...

The Ravens entered their second season in Baltimore with a potent offense and a defense that couldn't stop anyone. But the team hoped an improved defense would lead to progress in the standings. Linebacker Peter Boulware was selected as the Ravens...

In most of their first-down plays the other day, the Kansas City Chiefs, a famous running team, threw passes instead. And that's how they ran up that 54-34 score on the St. Louis Rams, who had won their first six games with the same plan: consistent...

The only things possibly left to play for now are pride, draft position and the head coach's job. The Ravens' playoff hopes were left hanging in the wind with Philadelphia kicker Chris Boniol's waffling, 40-yard field-goal attempt at the end of overtime...

The Ravens have their first quarterback controversy. It's Eric Zeier against Vinny Testaverde. Or is that Vinny Testaverde against Eric Zeier? A decision on the quarterback of the future, or at least of next week, will be made in the next 72 hours, but...
