Baltimore Beatdown: Revenge Is Thy Master

The Baltimore Ravens fanbase is tired of losing to the Colts. They want revenge for a string of failures against the Peyton Mannings, including some playoff losses. Sure, advancing in the playoffs can be a strong motivating factor, but admit it, beating a team that has owned you recently can put a giddy-up in your step. The Ravens will take all the push they can get.

From Baltimore Beatdown:

The playoff game in 2006 ended in a 15-6 loss to the Colts and included a goal line interception thrown by the late Steve McNair. The 2007 and 2008 games were blowouts by scores of 44-20 and 31-3, respectively. Of course, most fans are still regurgitating the 17-15 loss in November of this year’s regular season.

So now, getting the same sort of revenge that we took on the New England Patriots is just what this fairy tale season needs to continue.
