Typically when the Ravens’ season is over, I do a column for PressBoxOnline.com running through the various playoff teams and trying to determine which squad is most worthy of receiving Baltimore’s bandwagon support.
I passed on that column this year. The Ravens’ exit was too sudden and painful to think the fan base was ready to quickly jump on board and root for anyone else. Combined with the Steelers and Patriots pleasantly not being a factor for a change, I’ve sensed a strong “yeah, whoever” vibe from the majority of Ravens fans.
But Super Bowl LIV is going to happen, and there’s a really amazing local connection that deserves a little more conversation and interest during the buildup to the game.
