Ravens Super Bowl Teams Ranked Against All Others

After Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII win by the Kansas City Chiefs, there have been 58 total Super Bowl Champions served up.

After Sunday's Super Bowl LVIII win by the Kansas City Chiefs, there have been 58 total Super Bowl Champions served up. ESPN took the time to rank each one based on regular-season dominance and how they got to the postseason, as well as ESPN DVOA ratings and play-by-play efficiency. This list admittedly seems like an advertisement for ESPN's proprietary DVOA equation, but here we are.

So how do the Baltimore Ravens' two Super Bowl championships rank against the others?

No. 51 - 2012 Baltimore Ravens (14-6, 15.5 percent)

"The Ravens were just 12th in total DVOA during the regular season and ranked lower than that in both offense and defense. They were lifted by a No. 1 special teams unit which is one of the top dozen special teams units in DVOA history. In the first round, they easily put up a 24-9 win over a Colts team that made the playoffs despite ranking just 24th in DVOA.

"Then came the "Mile High Miracle," the 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones that tied things up with the Broncos and led to a 38-35 Baltimore victory in double overtime. The Ravens easily dispatched the Patriots in the AFC championship 28-13 and defeated the 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII. Other than the Colts, the Ravens had a tough road to a title, as the last three teams they played ranked first (Denver), second (New England) and fourth (San Francisco) in DVOA that season."

The 2012 edition of the Ravens were admittedly not the team of 2000 and never pretended to be. But a Super Bowl win for coach John Harbaugh over his brother Jim seems like a perfect storyline and excuse to make this team much higher. But unfortunately, that's not in the DVOA equation.

33. 2000 Baltimore Ravens (16-4, 29.4 percent)

"The Ravens ranked fourth in total DVOA and -- this might surprise you -- a reasonable 22nd on offense. Yet, once you adjust for the league's easiest strength of schedule, these Ravens did not have one of the top 25 regular-season defenses in DVOA history. Their run defense was fantastic, but the pass defense finished just sixth that season. Combined, the Ravens were second to the Titans on defense.

"Then the Ravens turned it on to a ridiculous extent once we got to the postseason. In four games, the Ravens allowed a combined 23 points to the Broncos, Titans, Raiders and Giants, all teams that were above average on offense that season. As a result, the Ravens' defensive DVOA goes from minus 21% in the regular season to minus 31% once you include the playoffs. It's the fifth-best defense in DVOA history with the playoffs included. They defeated the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV by a score of 34-7."

Ravens Offseason Plans: What Would Kevin Zeitler Extension Look Like?

It's interesting that someone was able to invent a metric that made the 2000 Ravens defense not look like one of the most dominating in history - because by all other accounts and metrics in existence, it was.

So put whatever stake you want in this list that ranks the 1991 Washington team (17-2, 53.9 percent) the best of all time. Because finally, Washington is winning at something again.
