Product Description

The debate over the NFL's greatest defense has raged for some time. Fans in Dallas are squarely behind the Doomsday Defense. Minnesota had the "Purple People Eaters", while Chicago had the "46". Still, in 2000, the Baltimore Ravens were as good as any in that group, and possibly even better. Statistically speaking, the Ravens' defense was without equal. Led by Pro Bowlers Ray Lewis, Sam Adams and Rod Woodson, Baltimore allowed the fewest points ever in a 16-game season - 165, an average of just over 10 per contest. Amazingly, they played even better in the postseason, allowing just 16 points combined in wins over the Broncos, Titans and Raiders. But it was the Ravens' efforts in Super Bowl XXXV againstthe Giants that clinched their inclusion amongst the greatest defenses of all time. Baltimore's offense, with Trent Dilfer at quarterback, held its own and the defense took care of the rest, forcing five turnovers in one of the most dominating performances ever. Join NFL Films as they retell the story of the '00 Ravens. America's Game uses exclusive interviews from Lewis, Dilfer, and Brian Billick to reminisce about their championship season and one of the NFL's greatest defensive units.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but too little, July 21, 2009

By	K. M. Duckworth - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pros: the production quality is very good. It has some of the usual super close ups and super slow motion that we expect from NFL Films productions. The DVD includes material from the beginning of the season, to the superbowl, and also talks about Ray Lewis's indictment, legal trouble, and its impact on the team. The three people who reappear in interviews are Brian Billick, Ray Lewis, and Trent Dilfer. The extra features are mostly extended interviews with these three.

Cons: it is quite short, 45 minutes, not the advertised 55 minutes, unless you count the extra features. There are only a few minutes, I'd estimate 3 or 4, devoted to the superbowl. There are probably 9 or 10 other games throughout the season that get this much coverage on the DVD, with the rest of the time going to interviews. What I was hoping for was 30 minutes of highlights of the superbowl game itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Champions..., May 3, 2009

By	David Falzano (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As always NFL Films produces a top notch DVD on one if it's top teams & this is certainly one of my ultimate favorites especially since it's more than a rundown of the Baltimore Ravens championship season but it also takes a personal approach to the players & coaching staff. One of my favorite parts is when they talk about Ray Lewis because he really takes his game seriously & he's probably the biggest team leader in all of the NFL. Also you see the pressure that Lewis had to face from the NFL, news media & the fans as a result of his going to trial for murder charges despite his continual self proclaimed innocence. All in all, this is an EXCELLENT well-produced documentary that really showcases not only one of the greatest defensive NFL teams of all time but digs down deep in the heart of the game itself.
