After their stellar 2019 season, the Ravens acquired star players like Patrick Queen and J. The Ravens overall finished 11-5 and secured a wild card berth in the playoffs, defeating the Titans in the wild card round to avenge the previous year's divisional round, but fell to the Bills the following week, 17-3. Despite early injuries that led to struggles on the defensive side of the football, the Ravens jumped out to a 9–2 start thanks in part to a high powered no-huddle offense led by Joe Flacco. Regardless, the Ravens clinched their fifth straight playoff berth after the Steelers lost to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Ravens ended the regular season with a franchise-best 13–3 record. Still considered one of the better teams in the NFL, and a Super Bowl favorite by some the Ravens had secured the AFC North title, the #2 AFC playoff seed, and clinched a 1st-round bye. The Ravens were slated to face the Indianapolis Colts in the second round of the playoffs, in the first meeting of the two teams in the playoffs. Many Baltimore and Indianapolis fans saw this historic meeting as a sort of "Judgment Day" with the new team of Baltimore facing the old team of Baltimore . In one of the most bizarre playoff games in NFL history, both Indianapolis and Baltimore were held to scoring only field goals as the two defenses slugged it out all over M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore would like to win a game comfortably for a change, and if they can put everything together on both sides of the ball the way they desire, they should emerge victorious. The Ravens are tied with the Bengals for first place in the division but hold the tiebreaker with a win over Cincinnati. Jackson was injured in the first quarter of Baltimore's 10-9 win over Denver on Dec. 4.
Ed Reed became a full-fledged star on defense, with nine interceptions. He broke the NFL record for longest INT return, with a 106-yard return against the Cleveland Browns. Baltimore remained in playoff contention the entire season, but with a 9–7 record did not go to the playoffs. The Falcons come in with an abysmal record of 5-9 and sit in a three-way tie for second place in the NFC South. No seriously, that’s not a typo, that division is just comically weak.

With Jonathan Ogden retiring after the 2007 season and Matt Stover going into free agency, Baltimore's only remaining player from its first season was Ray Lewis. The Ravens held the 26th pick in the 2009 NFL draft but went up to the 23rd pick by trading its 26th pick and a 5th round pick to the New England Patriots. During this offseason the Ravens waived Jamal Lewis, who signed with the Cleveland Browns, and failed to re-sign Adalius Thomas who signed with the New England Patriots, and Ovie Mughelli who signed with the Atlanta Falcons.
Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney suffered a head injury late in the first half and did not return. Nick Chubb ran for 99 yards in the snow and the Cleveland Browns' defense held firm to earn a 13-3 win over the visiting Baltimore Ravens Saturday. The Ravens needed a quarterback but drafting after all the top quarterbacks were gone, used their 10th pick to select Arizona State defensive end Terrell Suggs. They then traded their nd round pick and st round pick to the New England Patriots for the 19th overall selection which they used to draft Cal quarterback Kyle Boller. The Patriots eventually used the Ravens' st round selection to take defensive tackle Vince Wilfork.

The Ravens still had a shot at the playoffs with a week 17 victory, and made it defeating the Oakland Raiders 21–13. The Ravens then beat the Steelers, who were playing without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with an overtime field goal on Sunday Night Football. The next week, however, the Ravens lost to the Green Bay Packers on ESPN Monday Night Football. The 2005 season (the Ravens' 10th Anniversary season) began as the featured Sunday Night Football game televised by ESPN. This in turn made Marchibroda the only man to serve as head coach of both Baltimore's NFL franchises.
“We have to just have a better passing game, basically,” coach John Harbaugh said with Huntley sitting nearby. "It’s not a good enough passing game right now across the board to do the things that we’re hoping to do. So, that will be priority one. In his third game after serving an 11-game NFL suspension for alleged sexual misconduct, Watson wasn't spectacular.

Don’t misunderstand me, though; the events of September 1, 1996, were vitally important to Baltimore football history, and dare I say even the city of Baltimore itself. “Baltimore is Back.” That was the theme of Sunday, September 1, 1996, the first day of the rest of Baltimore football fans’ lives. That was the day the scales of justice were rebalanced, and NFL football returned to Charm City.
Jim Johnson spent most of his life in Maryland, growing up with the Orioles, the Colts, Terps, and later Ravens. He started his sports writing career as “The Courtmaster,” covering the Terps and ACC hoops and was a frequent guest on Bob Haynie’s old WNST show and other sports talk across the region. After previously covering Maryland and Big Ten Football, he now writes about the NFL, primarily the action in the AFC North.
The newly relocated and rebranded Baltimore Ravens took the field to face the Raiders, who only the previous season had themselves returned to Oakland from Los Angeles. It was the first time Al Davis’ team had played in Baltimore since winning the famous “Ghost to the Post” double overtime playoff game on Christmas Eve, 1977, the Colts’ last brush with glory before their departure for Indianapolis. On January 27, 2014, the Ravens hired former Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak to be their new offensive coordinator after Jim Caldwell accepted the new available head coaching job with the Detroit Lions. During the offseason, the Ravens signed former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith to a three-year contract. They also signed tight end Owen Daniels and running back Justin Forsett, as they played for Kubiak in Houston and would seemingly fit in Kubiak's new system. On February 15, 2014, star running back Ray Rice and his fiancée Janay Palmer were arrested and charged with assault after a physical altercation at Revel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Roger was with us the whole time, and guided us through the process of taking off, landing, and general maneuvering in the air. I got to spend about an hour in the simulator, and couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. I definitely recommend these guys to anyone interested in flight, or just looking for something fun to do in the Frankfurt area. As it goes for the Ravens, their defense has given them everything they could have asked for as of late. They keep teams out of the endzone and have also brought the ballhawk mentality in forcing turnovers, but they can’t do it all, and that is where they will need some help from their offense. I made a point earlier on how the Ravens like to run the ball to impose their will on offense.
Tucker, who entered Saturday 22-for-22 on field goals inside 50 yards, missed wide left on a 48-yard attempt to close the first half. The Ravens (9-5) turned the ball over on downs four times, including once on a blocked field goal. Tyler Huntley, starting in place of the injured Lamar Jackson, went 17 of 30 for 138 yards and an interception.
This was a game where Ravens coach John Harbaugh would face off against his brother Jim Harbaugh who had just taken over as head coach of the 49ers in the 2011 season. The Ravens would go on to end a 49ers win streak in a final score of 16–6. The Ravens recorded a franchise record of nine sacks on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, three coming from Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs.
