Reed joined former teammates Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis as he breezed to election in the first year he was eligible.

Ed Reed left a unique mark on the Ravens and the NFL in his 12 years as a big-play safety. On Saturday, Reed could become the third homegrown Raven, after Jonathan Ogden and Ray Lewis, to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

The Ravens defense has been impressive during the preseason and that's in part attributable to the schemes and approach of new coordinator Don Martindale, Mike Preston writes.

Ravens linebacker Kamalei Correa is among the former high draft picks fighting for a job on the team this year, and he helped his case with a first-quarter interception Thursday night against the Chicago Bears. 

“Life now, I don’t think it’s about what I did,” Ray Lewis said recently. “I think it’s about where I’m going."

While Dick Butkus, Jack Lambert and Lawrence Taylor had a great influence on the linebacker position in the NFL, Ray Lewis might have had the biggest of all.

A look at each season Ray Lewis played for the Ravens and the five years since he retired, culminating in his selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Lewis proved to be the perfect emblem for his adopted home base — underestimated, messy and defiant.

Exactly five years after he played his last game and went out as a Super Bowl champion, former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

The longtime Ravens middle linebacker is considered a near lock to be part of the 2018 class.

The former NFL head coach and Ravens defensive coordinator and current ESPN analyst hardly agrees with Kevin Mawae's comments preferring the former Bear over the Baltimore legend.

Martindale acknowledges that some things will stay the same, but there might be situations in which he's more aggressive than his predecessor, Dean Pees.

Ravens defensive coordinator used to be one of the best assistant coaching positions in the NFL, but the luster is gone.

The Ravens linebackers coach for the past six years will succeed Dean Pees.

The Ravens have typically filled the post by promoting a position coach already on staff, and that's still a possibility this time, but they might instead bring back a familiar face from the outside.

The Ravens face a painful offseason of self-examination after a dispiriting loss to the Bengals.

Kentucky coach Bob Stoops is "working on it."

The Ravens and Bills will meet at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Bill Belichick would also disagree.

New Ravens assistant coaches Greg Roman and Joe D'Alessandris are expected to try to bolster the run game by integrating more downhill blocking schemes without abandoning the zone approach.

The Ravens have lost their swag and fans have lost some excitement.

Former Raven star Ed Reed will return as a Buffalo Bills' assistant under new head coach Sean McDermott.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh vowed to bring in somebody to help the team's struggling run game and it appears he found his man with Greg Roman.

After rushing for just 36 yards in a loss to the Ravens earlier in the season, the Steelers could turn Ben Roethlisberger loose on Sunday.

In a phone interview with The Sun, Jon Gruden talks about tonight's Ravens-Patriots matchup at Gillette Stadium.

The Ravens didn't get any help Sunday from Buffalo, but Denver's loss improved their wild-card picture.

Only three offensive players that started for the Patriots when they last met the Ravens in a divisional playoff game on Jan. 10, 2015, will be starting Monday night at Gillette Stadium. Yet, the only thing that seemed to matter to the Ravens this week was that the guy who directs the Patriots offense remains the same, perhaps even better.

Take a look at what was going on in Carroll County over the weekend.

Here are three stats to keep in mind before Sunday's Ravens-Bills game at M&T Bank Stadium.

The Ravens coaches began the arduous process of self study immediately after the conclusion of a disappointing 2015 season. What coach John Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Dean Pees saw on tape didn't look a whole lot like the defense that longtime admirers have come to expect from the Ravens.

As a young cornerback building a career with the Ravens, Lardarius Webb enjoyed the comfort of knowing that whatever happened on the field, free safety Ed Reed was behind him to help the defense make a stop.
