The Baltimore Ravens finished the 2023 regular season with the best record in the NFL at 13-4, earning them a 1st-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. After beating the upstart Houston Texans 34-10 in the divisional round, they were defeated in the AFC Conference title game 17-10 by the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
QB Lamar Jackson had a memorable 2023 season, winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2nd time (2019). He finished wi th 3,678 passing yards, 24 TDs and 7 INTs. He added another 821 yards on the ground with 5 more TDs.
Baltimore was relatively quiet in free agency which isn’t surprising for this organization. While they let RBs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins walk, the Ravens signed 2-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry. Having Lamar and Henry in the same backfield has to strike fear into opposing defenses.
This team have a lot of expectations heading into the 2024 season and need their franchise quarterback to take another leap and get them to a Super Bowl. Baltimore has not represented the AFC in the Super Bowl since beating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in 2013.
