The Ravens are members of the North division in the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL); from 1996 to 2001, they played in the AFC Central division. The team began play in 1996 as a result of former Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell's decision to move the Browns to Baltimore.
