An Epochal Open Letter to My Team, Great Fans, and the Entire Baltimore Community
By Head Coach John Harbaugh
To My Ravens Family,
As I sit down to write this, my heart is full of gratitude, pride, and an unshakable belief in the greatness of this team, our fans, and this city we call home. Baltimore is not just a place where we play football—it is a city built on resilience, passion, and an unwavering spirit that mirrors the very identity of the Ravens.
Every time we step onto that field, we carry more than just a game plan—we carry the legacy of those who came before us, the dreams of every young kid wearing a Ravens jersey in the backyard, and the fierce determination that defines this city. Football is not just a sport here; it is a way of life. It is a bond that unites generations, families, and communities. It is the sound of M&T Bank Stadium roaring as one, the collective heartbeat of a city that never backs down.
To my players, my warriors on the field—you are the heartbeat of this team. Every drop of sweat, every extra rep, every sacrifice you make is a testament to your dedication. You have battled through adversity, pushed past limits, and refused to let setbacks define you. I see the hunger in your eyes, the fire in your souls. I could not be prouder to stand alongside you. We fight together. We win together. We grow together.
To our incredible fans—you are the soul of the Baltimore Ravens. Your unwavering loyalty, your deafening cheers, and your belief in this team fuel us more than you can ever imagine. Whether rain or shine, in victory or defeat, you stand by us. You are not just spectators; you are a part of this team, a part of this family. We hear you. We play for you. And we will give you everything we have.
To the entire Baltimore community—you are the foundation upon which this franchise stands. Your resilience, your strength, and your pride inspire us daily. This city has faced challenges, but it has never bowed. It has never wavered. Just like the Ravens, Baltimore is built to rise, to fight, and to emerge stronger.
As we move forward, know this—our mission is clear. We are here to compete, to fight, and to bring home championships. But more than that, we are here to represent something bigger than ourselves. We are here to make you proud, to give everything we have, and to honor the unbreakable bond between this team and this city.
Baltimore, this is our time. This is our moment. Together, we will rise. Together, we will conquer.
With unwavering belief,
John Harbaugh
Head Coach, Baltimore Ravens
