The Baltimore Ravens haven't played in a Super Bowl since 2000, when they defeated the New York Giants for their first championship in franchise history. But in the 2012 season, the team had a number of setbacks that most thought would be impossible to overcome. The Ravens lost a number of players to injuries, the team fired their offensive coordinator in December, and suffered a three-game losing streak. The team also had to beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady to reach the Super Bowl which is no easy task.
