Baltimore Ravens Ranked 8th Best NFL Franchise
Forbes Magazine recently put out their ranking of the NFL's most valuable franchises and they put the Baltimore Ravens close to the top at number 8. Topping the list were the Dallas Cowboys, and following them in order up until the Ravens were the Washington Redskins, New England Patriots, New York Giants, Houston Texans, New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles.
Nice to see our Ravens ahead of all of our AFC North foes in terms of value, with the Pittsburgh Steelers ranked 17th, the Cincinnati Bengals 25th, and the Cleveland Browns ranked 15th.

Baltimore Ravens Ranked 8th Best NFL Franchise
Forbes Magazine recently put out their ranking of the NFL’s most valuable franchises and they put the Baltimore Ravens close to the top at number 8.
Which is it? Are we the 8th best franchise, or the 8th most valuable franchise? I’m not about to tell Forbes their business when it comes to money, but I think that calling us the 8th best franchise is low-balling us.

Used the word "best" in the headline
because it fit better than “most valuable.” Love your loyalty regarding “best” though!

We can't compete with the top
those are all real big markets or teams that have good corporate sponsorship, etc. 8th is pretty great for a small market team.
Seriously....
In Baltimore, the Ravens are Number 1!!!! Forget everyone else. We’re the best! Go Ravens!
Only 8th?
Who’s allegedly ahead of us?
The Orioles are going to open a can of Buck-Wieser on your ass......
This is terrible reporting. “Best” is broad and subjective. This article is about a very real ranking, the team’s monetary value, and the Steelers’ ranking shows that this has nothing to do with football.
Broad and Subjective?
It’s “BALTIMORE BEATDOWN!” We are “broad and subjective!”

Yeah youre probably right
If this ranking were based on actual team talent, then you’re Steelers would atleast be in the 10-15th range.
