When the Ravens face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, they will be looking to do something against the Panthers that they have not done in the regular season.
Win a game.
In three regular season matchup's, the Ravens are 0-3 versus the Panthers.

The loss in the '06 season was probably one of the best games for then Ravens backup quarterback Kyle Boller. Steve McNair had gotten hit early in the game and had to leave with a neck injury. Boller was thrown into the game late in the first quarter and went,17-31 ,226 yds, 3td's, 1 int. While the stats were not the most impressive ever, it was the way Boller continued to put touchdown drives together to keep his team in the game.
Perhaps one image from that game that Ravens fans will never forget , is after Boller had just thrown a touchdown pass to Mark Clayton to get the Ravens to within two points late in the fourth quarter, the very first play on offense for the Panthers, this happened. The Ravens would score again to get them to the final margin of loss 23-21, as the Panthers were able to hold onto the ball and just run out the clock. That would also serve as the final game as offensive coordinator for Jim Fassel, as he would be fired two days later.
Sometimes, a team just has your number. On Sunday, the Ravens hope to have the number one in the win column when the game ends.
