Fact: Ravens are the NFL’s No. 27 market in terms of size: only five teams in the league play in smaller markets.

Forbes list isn't about market size. It's a guesstimate by a magazine of a teams value. Reasons for success have nothing to do with their market size. The credit belongs to Modell and Bisciotti for running a sound operation; GM Ozzie Newsome and his staff for picking the right players; the players and coaches for putting winning teams on the field; the rest of the front office for endeavoring to build a brand; and the fans for selling out all those games.
