The Kansas City Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/] won their third straight Super Bowl appearance with Patrick Mahomes [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-mahomes/] as the starting QB. In their last AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/baltimore-ravens/] on Sunday, the Chiefs secured a 17-10 victory with the 2x SB champion throwing for 241 yards with one touchdown. But the 2x SB champion’s celebratory post on his IG is giving rise to social media trolls. Time and again, comparisons have been drawn regarding Tom Brady [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tom-brady/] and Patrick Mahomes as both have their respective illustrious careers. The 2x SB MVP posted a series of photos set to the tune of P. Diddy’s “Bad Boys For Life” after the win against the Ravens. He captioned the post with a single emoji of an alarm clock. But while some fans celebrated his win with him, some couldn’t help but troll his choice of song. “Bad Boys For Life” is a trademark for Brady-Gronk duo and they’ve used it many times on their social media. Many fans still remember Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski’s celebratory video after their 2021 NFC Championship win. Seeing Mahomes’ post, a user on IG commented, “You are NOT [Tom] brady 💀🫵” IG USERS ARE QUICK TO TROLL PATRICK MAHOMES’ IMITATION OF TOM BRADY After Mahomes’ recent IG post, a lot of comments poured in including several comments saying, “You aren’t Brady.” Another user trolled, “Dude thinks he’s brady.” Another even pointed out to the Mahomes-Kelce duo saying, “Bro ur not Brady, u and trav are not like Brady and gronk – don’t do all that.” One person also mentioned Mahomes’ choice of song saying, “Your not brady bro. Thats the goats song.” READ MORE: Deion Sanders’ Sons Surprise Coach Prime with a New House in Colorado [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-ncaa-news-deion-sanders-sons-surprise-coach-prime-with-a-new-house-in-colorado/] However, the comments weren’t all bad. Some suggested that even though Brady has 5 more rings, Mahomes is getting close, saying, “he on his way.” Another fan encouraged him for his next SB appearance, saying, “One more!!! 💪💪💪.“ If Mahomes is truly imitating the NFL GOAT, he’ll have to somehow win the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers because that’s what Tom Brady did after his IG post.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes received social media hate after his recent IG upload following their AFC Championship Game victory.

"I'm a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition." Growing up with
football fans, it has never been so easy to grab the hook of the game. I find
every football entity fascinating from NFL Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs to NCAA Deion
Sanders' Buffaloes. A live Mahomes-Hurts duo play? Count me in! Watching sports
since I was a child has given me a unique perspective on what we, as fans, want,
and I always strive to achieve that through whatever means possible. I'm a
postgraduate writer with 4+ years of experience in various types of writing. I'd
rather hustle with words than grind with sweat. After spending the last two
years documenting NFL teams for ticket sales, I'm now reporting for duty! And
when I'm off the radar, you'll find me buried in games, editing, and creating
miniature DIYs. - Khosalu Puro, NFL author at ES.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer teams in the NFL and play as part of the AFC North division. They joined the NFL after <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/ohio-sports-blog/2017/04/cleveland_browns_move_to_balti.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">moving</a> from Cleveland to set up an extension franchise in the NFL’s now-defunct AFC Central division, ahead of the 1996 NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389041" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211230/1200px-Baltimore_Ravens_logo.svg.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="591" />
The move saw the city of Baltimore return to the NFL after a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100211225719/http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/History/Baltimore_Football_History.aspx#1946" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dozen</a> years out. Their spell initially ended when the Baltimore Colts relocated to Indiana ahead of the 1984 NFL season. With a newly rebranded team, the city got behind the players wholeheartedly and stuck with them in their four seasons of struggle. 
The third season (1998 NFL season) saw Baltimore Ravens <a href="https://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/mt-bank-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">move</a> from the historic Memorial Stadium where the Colts played for 30 years to the new M&amp;T Bank Stadium. 
Following the relocation, the team’s fortunes turned, and their three-season losing run ended. They finished the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/1999/gamelog/">1999</a> NFL season at 8-8 and in the next campaign; they proved to the league and the country that it wasn’t just a flash in the pan. 
The Ravens placed second in the AFC North and proceeded to the playoffs with a 11-5 overall record. The franchise won the Wildcard Round Playoffs against the Tennessee Titans 20-13. However, they would fall in the Division Playoffs to the Bills.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Achievements</h2>
The Ravens have excelled in their short time in the NFL with six divisional titles, two conference championships, and two Super Bowl wins. 
Their first Super Bowl win as Baltimore Ravens came in the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2000/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2000</a> NFL season. The Ravens cobbled a 12-4 record and finished in the six-team AFC Central behind Tennessee Titans. 
Over the course of the regular season, the team made waves over its robust defense that allowed opposing offenses to advance just 970 yards. They conceded just five rushing touchdowns, which stands as a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=IyzVf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record</a> for a 16-game NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389039" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211100/supa-biwl.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="618" />
In the Playoffs, the Ravens’ defense remained imperious, and only the Titans who played them in the divisional round could reach double digits.
 On January 28, 2001, Baltimore decimated New York Giants 34-7 at Super Bowl <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101280nyg.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XXXV</a>. Linebacker Ray Lewis claimed the Super Bowl MVP award. He would go on to feature in the franchise's second Vincent Lombardi Trophy win a dozen years later. 
The win was the genesis of the team’s rise in the NFL. They did not fade away and remained a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">consistent</a> feature in the NFL Playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens have made it past the regular season in 11 of the next 19 seasons, following the Super Bowl triumph. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are owned by Steve Bisciotti. He <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-modell122099-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">purchased</a> part of the franchise ahead of the Super Bowl-winning season in 2000. Per the terms of the purchase, he had the option to buy the Ravens outright, and Biscotti exercised the option ahead of the <a href="https://www.espn.in/nfl/news/story?id=1778585" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2004</a> NFL season.  
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389038" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211048/steve.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" />
He took a bold call to part ways with a Super Bowl-winning coach, but his new hire was justified. John Harbaugh came on board in the same season as Joe Flacco. The duo combined to take the Ravens to a franchise-best four successive postseason appearances and one Super Bowl for the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2012/gamelog/">2012</a> NFL season. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Lamar Jackson era</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens made the most of many teams passing up on a Heisman winner and drafted him at #32 overall at the 2018 NFL draft. <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lamar-jackson/">Lamar Jackson</a> possessed supreme rushing skills, and many regarded him as a running back. However, he remained steadfast on wanting to play quarterback and the team gave him a chance.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
Jackson got his chance midway through the 2018 NFL campaign when <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201302030sfo.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Bowl XLVII</a> MVP Joe Flacco sustained an injury. 
In the team's second season with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the team put together the best run of the NFL regular season. Their <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2019/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">14-2</a> record had them pegged as Super Bowl favorites. However, they lost in the first playoff round. Nevertheless, the quarterback became only the second player to earn the regular season MVP award with a unanimous vote. 
The 2020 season saw Lamar Jackson aim to guide Baltimore Ravens to a third consecutive playoff appearance. His goal was to win a post-season game and lift the Vincent Lombardi Trophy. However, the Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Division Playoffs in a dismal 3-17 loss.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Logo</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are a relatively new franchise. Yet they have hit headlines over their logo and had to shake things up near the turn of the century. 
The issue arose as the Baltimore dweller was peeved at not getting credit for a design similar to what he had given to the franchise. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389037" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211032/Ravens3_a62a5ccf67a6a544c82cfd224cf82e26.jpg" alt="" width="1240" height="600" />
After the jury ruled against the franchise, they elected to craft a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/01/sports/plus-pro-football-baltimore-ravens-adopt-new-logo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new logo</a>. The Baltimore Ravens dropped the helmet theme and adopted the crest they use even today. Chiefly, the insignia features a raven looking to the right with the gold-tinted letter 'B' plastered on the side of its head. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022 Sponsors</h2>
Morgan Properties announced a new partnership with Baltimore Ravens with an aim to increase visibility and grow awareness of its multifamily offerings among prospective Mid-Atlantic renters. Moreover, Postmates partnered up with the Ravens alongside the Los Angeles Rams. Postmates provided an assurance to deliver gameday meals throughout the season.
Leidos also came out with an announcement to partner up with the Ravens to spread awareness about the ongoing opioid epidemic through the 'Tackling Opioid Addiction' campaign. For every tackle made during the regular season, Leidos and the Ravens will donate $50 towards Baltimore area nonprofit organizations.

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena. More often than not, it is his ex-wife Gisele BÃ¼ndchen who is associated with the football legend. There have been a couple of actresses Tom Brady had dated before her. One of the prominent names is the &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; star, Bridget Moynahan. They dated for more than a couple of years, and during this period, the actress was spotted with Brady on many occasions. These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas! The couple split in December 2006, and Brady started dating BÃ¼ndchen. However, the following year, Moynahan announced that she was three months pregnant with Tom Brady&#8217;s child. Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack.

She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022.

At last, it was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Brady&#8217;s era who played a crucial role in his comeback. It was none other than Bruce Arians with whom the QB won his last Super Bowl, adding a star to the coaching legacy of Arians. The time with the New England Patriots saw Tom Brady at his peak.
