The Baltimore Ravens came into the 2022-23 NFL season with a lot of question marks surrounding the franchise.
Between quarterback Lamar Jackson’s contract dispute with the organization and the presumed strength of the AFC North, many doubted that the Ravens were built for success.
Five games into the year, however – Baltimore is looking quite good. Not only is the team 3-2, but it sits comfortably atop the division.
And it’s not just the Ravens’ players who are thriving. The squad’s cheerleaders are making noise as well.
This past week, a series of photos featuring the cheerleading unit went mega-viral on social media:

“Best entrance in sports,” one fan wrote.
“Prime time at he bank is the best experience I ever had,” another added.
“The stadium was jumping out the gym,” a third wrote.
While the Ravens cheerleaders haven’t achieved the level of notoriety that one Miami Dolphins dancer has gotten this season, what they’ve been able to do is still very impressive.
Cheerleading as a whole has seen a real resurgence over the past year. Between Alabama’s unit causing a stir at the collegiate level and now the Ravens doing the same in the NFL – it has been one thing after another.
Big picture, it will be interesting to see how Baltimore fares going forward.
With showdowns against the Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers on the agenda – the Ravens could easily go 3-1 over their next four.
That would put them at 6-3 and position them quite well relative to their divisional foes.

And if the squad keeps doing well, the cheerleaders inevitably will continue to get more shine. A win-win all around.
Can this be the year that the Ravens shock the world and compete for a Super Bowl?
Time will tell.
