History of the Bombers

The Baltimore Bombers are a storied franchise in the National Football League. The team has been around since 1950, when they were founded as part of the American Football Conference (AFC). The Bombers have had some impressive accomplishments and memorable moments throughout their history.

In 1953, they won their first division title and earned a spot in Super Bowl I against Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, it was not to be, as they lost 35-10 to Vince Lombardi’s legendary squad. However, this did not deter them from continuing to compete at an elite level throughout the decade, with appearances in three more championship games.

The 1970s saw even more success for Baltimore with six playoff appearances, including two trips back-to-back to Super Bowl VII & VIII, where unfortunately, both times fell short of victory by narrow margins each time losing 16–13 and 27–17, respectively against Miami Dolphins & Minnesota Vikings teams which featured Hall Of Fame quarterbacks Bob Griese & Fran Tarkenton respectively. In addition, the 1980 season saw another division title but ultimately ended up being one of only two years without postseason play during that decade.

As we move forward into the modern era, the 1990s brought about new heights yet again, making four consecutive playoffs appearance between 1996 -1999, culminating in an AFC Championship game loss after defeating Tennessee Titans on a “Music City Miracle” kick return touchdown by Lorenzo Neal before falling 23 –16 at Mile High Stadium versus John Elway led Denver Broncos who went on win second consecutive Super Bowl XXXII. To date, this is still the last conference championship game appearance made by the team now known as the Ravens, who moved from Cleveland Browns after the 1995 season due relocation agreement between league owners following a legal battle over ownership rights involving Art Modell, who owned both franchises before moving taking place.
