The year the Ravens redefined "Dominance." In 2000, Ray Lewis led a defense that didn't just win games; it demoralized opponents. Under his leadership, the Ravens set the 16-game NFL record for the fewest points allowed (165) and the fewest rushing yards allowed (970) in a single season. The season was capped off by a 34–7 blowout of the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV, where Ray Lewis was named Super Bowl MVP. He became only the second linebacker in NFL history to win both the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP in the same season. It remains the gold standard for defensive excellence in the modern era. Is the 2000 Ravens defense the greatest of all time? 👇 #RayLewis #BaltimoreRavens #RavensFlock #NFLHistory #HallOfFame #DefensivePlayerOfTheYear #SuperBowlMVP #MiddleLinebacker #NFLStats #TheU #Hurricanes #GridironLegends #52 (via Lawson on TT)
