The MVP chants for Lamar Jackson aren't going anywhere.
The top-seeded Ravens aren't flapping around this playoff season. They dominated in their divisional-round win over the Texans but now face a much tougher opponent with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line in the Chiefs.
Getting past the defending champions is no easy feat, but with a little bit of luck (and Johnny)on its side, Baltimore has a chance at making Super Bowl history.

Take a look back at the Ravens' Super Bowl successes.
Ravens Super Bowl history
When was the last time the Ravens went to a Super Bowl?
The Ravens are the second-newest NFL franchise, so their history of Super Bowl success in their relatively brief existence is impressive.
Added to the league in 1996, the Ravens made it to the big game just four seasons later. They finished the 2000 regular season at 12-4, earning a wild-card berth for their first ever playoff appearance. They dominated every postseason game, beating the Broncos, Titans and Raiders to reach the Super Bowl.
Baltimore beat the Giants, 34-7, in the championship game to claim its first Lombardi Trophy, becoming the quickest expansion team to win it. Defense was the name of the game for the Ravens, who allowed just one touchdown on 152 yards of offense.
Ray Lewis was named Super Bowl MVP, and deservingly so. The franchise's second-ever draft pick,the linebacker stayed with the team through its second Super Bowl before retiring. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018.
Baltimore made it back to the Super Bowl in the 2012 season. After a 10-6 regular season, the Ravens faced the Colts, Broncos and Patriots en route to the championship game.

In the Super Bowl, head coach John Harbaugh faced his brother Jim Harbaugh in the game that became known as the "Harbaugh Bowl." The Ravens handed the 49ers their first championship game loss, and their 34-31 victory wasn't as close as the score suggests. While San Francisco tried to mount a second-half comeback, the 49ers could not erase the 15-point deficit. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco earned MVP honors for the win.
Despite successful seasons since then, the Ravens have yet to make it back to an AFC championship game — until this year.
Here's a look at their previous Super Bowl results.
| Game | Date | Opponent | Result | MVP |
| Super Bowl 35 | Jan. 28, 2001 | Giants | Ravens 34, Giants 7 | Ray Lewis |
| Super Bowl 47 | Feb. 3, 2013 | 49ers | Ravens 34, 49ers 31 | Joe Flacco |
How many Super Bowls have the Ravens won?
The Ravens are a perfect 2-0 in their Super Bowl appearances. They're far from the most successful franchise, as the Steelers and Patriots are tied with six Super Bowl wins apiece, but they've done well given their brief history as a franchise.
Take a look at the franchises to which Baltimore compares in terms of Super Bowl victories.
| Team | Wins | Most recent win |
| Chiefs | 3 | 2023 |
| Broncos | 3 | 2016 |
| Commanders | 3 | 1992 |
| Raiders | 3 | 1984 |
| Colts | 2 | 2007 |
| Rams | 2 | 2022 |
| Dolphins | 2 | 1974 |
| Buccaneers | 2 | 2021 |
Most Super Bowl appearances
Among teams with two Super Bowl appearances, the Ravens stack up well. The Buccaneers are the only other team who also are a perfect 2-0 through two appearances.
If the Ravens reach the Super Bowl for a third time, they will join the Seahawks (1-2) and the Bengals (0-3) at that milestone, and they'll be guaranteed to have the best record in the group.
| Team | Appearances | Record | Most recent appearance |
| Panthers | 2 | 0-2 | 2016 |
| Falcons | 2 | 0-2 | 2017 |
| Bears | 2 | 1-1 | 2007 |
| Buccaneers | 2 | 2-0 | 2021 |
| Saints | 1 | 1-0 | 2010 |
| Cardinals | 1 | 0-1 | 2009 |
| Titans | 1 | 0-1 | 2000 |
| Chargers | 1 | 0-1 | 1995 |
| Jets | 1 | 1-0 | 1969 |
Longest Super Bowl appearance drought
The Ravens' 2013 Super Bowl appearance puts them in better position than 22 other NFL teams, who all have had longer Super Bowl appearance droughts.
Among teams who have been to a Super Bowl, the Jets and the Vikings have the longest active droughts.
| Team | Date | Result |
| Jets | Jan. 12, 1969 | Jets 16, Colts 7 |
| Vikings | Jan. 9, 1977 | Raiders 32, Vikings 14 |
| Dolphins | Jan. 20, 1985 | 49ers 38, Dolphins 16 |
| Commanders | Jan. 26, 1992 | Commanders 37, Bills 24 |
| Cowboys | Jan. 28, 1996 | Cowboys 27, Steelers 17 |
Several other franchises, whether a year older (Jaguars) or 50 years older (Browns)than the Ravens, haven't even made it that far.
| Team | Year founded | Best Super Bowl-era playoff finish |
| Lions | 1930 | Conference championship (1992) |
| Browns | 1946 | Conference championship (1990) |
| Jaguars | 1995 | Conference championship (2018) |
| Texans | 2002 | Divisional round (5 seasons) |
Super Bowl rematches
If the Ravens advance to the Super Bowl, they'll face the winner of the NFC championship game between the No. 3 seed Lions and No. 1 seed 49ers.
If the Lions win, they'll advance to their first Super Bowl in franchise history. But if the 49ers win, they'll set up a rematch with the Ravens, who beat them for the 2013 title. Will the logo conspiracy come true?
