The 2000 Ravens had one of the greatest defense of all time. There were fast and ruthless. Their defensive coordinator was Marvin Lewis. Under Lewis, Ravens defense allowed just 10.3 points per game in a 16-game regular season. This set a league record.
Ravens gave up only 970 rushing yards all season. They ranked 7th in pass defense, but their rushing defense best was their best. Their defense were led by middle linebacker Ray Lewis, 2000 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Five players represented the Ravens in the Pro Bowl.
Ravens beat the Broncos, Titans, No. 2 offense Raiders, and the Giants in the Super Bowl. Ravens finished the entire season with a 16-4 record.
The 2000 Ravens is the best defensive team I have ever seen in all of my years watching football. The closest one to challenge the 2000 Ravens are the 2013 Seattle Seahawks.
