The Baltimore Ravens.
That team was the Cleveland Browns, but owner Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore at the end of the 1995 season. The NFL agreed to let Modell move the team from Cleveland if he would no longer have the team wear brown, orange, and white, and be known as the Browns.
The name Ravens was chosen in a contest of potential name among Baltimore fans. Since Poe was from Baltimore, and the Raven was his most famous poem, the name made the most sense to Baltimore fans.
Truly though Baltimore fans would have preferred the name Colts. There was a team known as the Colts in the All-American Football Conference from 1946 to 1949. Also when a team failed in Dallas in 1952, the players moved to Baltimore, and the Colts were formed. When owner Robert Irsay moved the team to Indianapolis in 1984, he kept the Colts name and blue and white colors.

The Ravens. Poe was a resident of Baltimore for many years, so the choice of the title of his most famous work was only natural!
