The 2024 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 29th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 17th under head coach John Harbaugh. The team failed to match or improve on their 13–4 record from 2023 after a loss to the eventual Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.

The Ravens publicly announced that they would honor the 2024 season to the recently deceased Jacoby Jones, former wide receiver, and Joe D'Alessandris, former offensive line coach.[1][2]

The Ravens started 0–2 for the first time since 2015, but won 12 of their last 15 games the rest of the way to finish the season 12–5, including victories over 9 teams that had a winning record. With Lamar Jackson's five touchdown performance in the Ravens win in Week 7, the Ravens became the first team in NFL history with players winning Offensive Player of the Week in four consecutive weeks (Derrick Henry won the honor in week 4 and 6 while Lamar Jackson won the honor for week 5 and 7).[3] Following a Week 16 victory against the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens clinched a playoff spot for the third consecutive season and their sixth in seven years.[4] In Week 18, they won the AFC North title for the second year in a row with a win over the Cleveland Browns.[5] The Ravens finished the regular season accumulating 7224 total offensive yards, the most in franchise history. The Ravens would also become the first team in NFL history to have 4000 passing yards and 3000 rushing yards in the same regular season.[6] The also had 5.8 yards per carry during the season, which is the 2nd most in NFL history behind only the 1948 San Francisco 49ers.[7]

The Ravens opened up their postseason run with a 28–14 win over the Steelers in the Wild Card Round to advance to the Divisional Round but were defeated by the Buffalo Bills by a score of 27–25, ending Baltimore's season.

Game information

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield looked sharp and the Ravens defense seemed to have no answer as the Bucs dominated the 1st quarter taking the early 10–0 lead. However, the next two quarters belonged to the Ravens as they scored 34 unanswered points with Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week, tossing four touchdowns and the Ravens defense stiffened with two interceptions by CB Marlon Humphrey, although Humphrey was forced out of the game with a knee injury on his second interception.[33] Jackson added another touchdown pass in the 4th quarter to Derrick Henry, who also rushed for 169 yards in the game, to open up a 41–18 lead with 6:32 remaining. The Bucs tried to make a furious rally in garbage time, but the deficit was too much to overcome as the Ravens won 41–31. With the win, the Ravens improved to 5–2.

Game information

Despite being heavy favorites, the Ravens struggled and were ultimately stunned by the Browns 24–29. The Ravens offense was inconsistent throughout the game and had at least three drops. Meanwhile, the Ravens defense, who were missing multiple key starters, was repeatedly gashed by Jameis Winston and also dropped several potential interceptions. They also were unable to close out the game. Despite struggling and trailing for most of the game, the Ravens were able to take a 24–23 lead on a Derrick Henry touchdown run with 2:36 left in regulation. The Browns then drove into Baltimore territory, but with 1:04 left in the game, Winston overthrew Elijah Moore on a deep ball that went straight to Kyle Hamilton. However, Hamilton dropped it and Winston threw a go-ahead 38-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Tillman on the very next play. Baltimore tried to rally back, but turned the ball over on downs at the Cleveland 24-yard line as time expired.[34][35][36][37] The loss snapped the Ravens five-game winning streak, dropping their record to 5–3.

The Ravens clinched a playoff berth and snapped a four-game losing streak to the Steelers with a 34–17 home win. Lamar Jackson threw for 207 yards, 3 touchdowns, and an interception while also rushing for 22 yards. Derrick Henry had 189 scrimmage yards with 162 of them coming on the ground. The defense also forced two crucial turnovers. The first one came early in the second quarter with the game tied at 7 when Ar'Darius Washington forced a Russell Wilson fumble after the latter had scrambled 19 yards to the Baltimore 4 yard line. The fumble was recovered by Kyle Van Noy and the Ravens drove 96 yards and scored a touchdown to take a 14–7 lead. The second turnover came after Jackson had thrown a red zone interception early in the fourth quarter with the Ravens up 24–17. After being pressured by David Ojabo, Wilson threw a pass that was behind his intended receiver MyCole Pruitt. The pass was intercepted and returned 37 yards for a touchdown by Marlon Humphrey, allowing the Ravens to extend their lead to 31–17. After forcing a Steelers punt, the Ravens drove 86 yards in 11 plays while running 6:09 of the remaining 9:19 off the clock. The drive ended in a field goal, effectively icing the game. With the win, the Ravens improved to 10–5, denied the Steelers the AFC North crown, and tied with the Steelers atop the AFC North, though the Steelers had the tiebreaker based on conference record and would have clinched the division had Baltimore lost this game.

Game information

Assisted by Pittsburgh's loss to Kansas City earlier that day, the Ravens took control of the AFC North with a 31–2 road rout of the Texans. The Ravens defense pitched a shutout while the Houston defense had no answers for Baltimore's run game. Lamar Jackson had 168 yards passing and two touchdowns while adding 87 yards rushing and another touchdown. Jackson also broke Michael Vick’s record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history. Derrick Henry had 165 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown as the Ravens finished with more rushing yards (251) than the Texans had total yards of offense (211). Houston's only score came on a safety when Kamari Lassiter tackled Henry in the end zone for a four yard loss in the second quarter to make it 10–2. However, the Texans turned the ball over on downs at the Baltimore 1-yard line on their next drive and the Ravens drove 99 yards for a touchdown on the ensuing drive. The Texans would reach the redzone only one other time on a late third quarter drive that also ended in a turnover on downs. With the win, the Ravens improved to 11–5.

The previous record was 15 by Jamal Lewis.[39] The Ravens defense also recorded two interceptions off of Bailey Zappe: the first one was a pick-6 midway through the first quarter when Nate Wiggins returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown to give the Ravens a 7–0 lead. The second one came with 2:25 left to go in the fourth quarter when Michael Pierce intercepted a pass at the Baltimore 16-yard line and returned it the Baltimore 22-yard line before sliding down. At 355 pounds, Pierce became the heaviest NFL player to record an interception since at least 2000.[40] With the win, the Ravens finished the season at 12–5.

Game information

This was the second meeting between the Bills and the Ravens in the playoffs, their previous meeting being during the 2020 AFC Divisional Round. In the regular season, the Ravens defeated the Bills 35-10 during Week 4 in Baltimore.

The Ravens would start off strong on their opening drive by capping off a 73-yard drive, ending with a Lamar Jackson 16-yard pass to Rashod Bateman to take an early 7–0 lead. However, the Bills would respond as they drove 70 yards down the field on their opening drive, finishing with a 1-yard run by Ray Davis for a touchdown to tie the score 7–7. Getting the ball back, the Ravens tried to follow up their previous touchdown but were stopped as Lamar Jackson threw an interception to safety Taylor Rapp. The Ravens would compensate for the turnover by forcing the Bills to punt as the Ravens would get the ball back, though they were backed up to their own 9-yard line.

Baltimore would end up driving the ball down 69 yards to the Bills' 28-yard line where Jackson would fumble the ball while being sacked by safety Damar Hamlin as Bills linebacker Von Miller recovered the fumble and would be tackled at the Ravens' 24-yard line. Buffalo would capitalize on the turnover following a 1-yard run by Josh Allen to put the Bills up 14–7. Attempting to answer, Baltimore would drive down 57 yards but were stopped on the Bills' 8-yard line, forcing a 26-yard field goal by Tucker to make the score 14–10. The Bills would then answer back with a 70-yard drive, ending with a 4-yard touchdown run by Allen to put the Bills up 21–10 at halftime.

Buffalo took the second-half kickoff but would go three-and-out as Baltimore forced a punt. Baltimore started at their own 36-yard line and drove down 35 yards settling for a Tucker 47-yard field goal to make the score 21–13. The Ravens' defense would step up and force a second punt, taking it to their own 20-yard line. Baltimore would capitalize on an 80-yard drive following a Derrick Henry 5-yard run for the touchdown to cut the deficit to 21–19. However, Baltimore would fail to convert the two-point conversion following a batted pass by Matt Milano. Buffalo would then respond in the 4th quarter following a 37-yard drive, ending in a 51-yard field goal by Bass to make the score 24–19. As Baltimore attempted to take the lead, the Bills would force their 3rd turnover of the game as linebacker Terrel Bernard punched the ball out of the arms of Mark Andrews forcing a fumble recovered by Bernard. The Bills would drive down the field to a 4th-and-goal on the Ravens' 3-yard line, settling for a 21-yard field goal by Bass as the Bills lead 27–19. Starting at their own 12-yard line, Jackson and the Ravens would drive down the field to the Bills 24-yard line and score a touchdown following a 24-yard pass from Jackson to Isaiah Likely to cut the lead to 27–25. On the two-point conversion, Jackson would throw the ball to Andrews who dropped the pass on the goal-line as Baltimore would fail to convert and tie the game. After failing to recover the onside kick, on top of many miscues by the Ravens, they would fall short and lose to the Bills 27–25 and were subsequently eliminated from the playoffs.

Jackson finished the game completing 18 of 25 passes for 2 touchdowns and an interception and loss fumble.
