The 2000 Ravens broke the NFL record for fewest points allowed during a 16-game season (165) and fewest rushing yards allowed (970). Baltimore finished the season number one overall in both yards allowed, and more importantly, points allowed.....also, of course Baltimore beat the Titans in the playoffs that year thanks mostly to a dominant defensive game.
I agree that the 2000 Ravens had a better defense (points allowed is more important than yards), but the Titans defense was #1 overall in yards allowed.
