WASHINGTON – The Baltimore Ravens have won the Super Bowl, and the mayor of Baltimore was quick to offer her praise.
In a statement from Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, she said that the team had demonstrated “strength, poise and perseverence” in their Super Bowl XLVII win.
“I want to congratulate Steve Bisciotti, Ozzie ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ome, Coach John Harbaugh and the players for bringing another Lombardi Trophy to our great city,” the statement read.
Rawlings-Blake also took the opportunity, alone with Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, to encourage fans to celebrate responsibly.
She said additional police are on patrol in the area. A city celebration is being planned for next week.
