Former Ravens Fires Shot at Cleveland Ahead of 30-Year Anniversary Game
Baltimore, MD – September 13, 2025
The Baltimore Ravens are set to celebrate their 30th anniversary in style this weekend when they host the Cleveland Browns at M&T Bank Stadium. But for former Ravens defensive end Chris Canty, the matchup is more than just a milestone—it’s a chance to remind Cleveland of the painful history that still fuels this AFC North rivalry.
In an interview leading up to the game, Canty didn’t hold back:
“I love it. Tap dance on the entire city of Cleveland. We took your team and did it better.”
The Ravens’ 30-year celebration comes with a sharp edge. Back in 1996, the Cleveland Browns relocated to Baltimore, rebranding as the Ravens. In the decades since, Baltimore has hoisted two Super Bowls (XXXV, XLVII), while the Browns have yet to return to the NFL’s biggest stage.
For Ravens fans, the anniversary isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about pride in how far the franchise has come. For Browns fans, it’s a reminder of what was lost.
Sunday’s clash adds another layer. The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, are hungry to rebound after a heartbreaking Week 1 loss to the Bills. The Browns, meanwhile, look to spoil Baltimore’s party with a road upset.
For Canty, who spent three seasons in Baltimore and won Super Bowl XLVI with the Giants, the game is as much about swagger as it is about football. His words echo the bravado that has defined the Ravens since their founding—defiant, unapologetic, and unafraid to stir the pot.
For Ravens Nation, Canty’s jab is a rallying cry. For Browns fans, it’s bulletin-board material. Either way, the 30-year anniversary game is shaping up to be a showdown worthy of the rivalry’s fiery history.
