The 2023 season is the Baltimore Ravens' 28th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 16th under head coach John Harbaugh. Baltimore will make their second consecutive postseason appearance, having improved on their 10–7 record from the previous season.
The Ravens' NFL record preseason winning streak was snapped at 24 games when they lost to the Washington Commanders in the second week of the preseason.
Both Nick Moore and Trayvon Mullen suffered season-ending injuries before the season started and Marlon Humphrey missed the beginning of the season due to a foot injury that required surgery.[1] J. K. Dobbins also suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1. By Week 4, 20 players had suffered injuries, including all three of the Ravens primary running backs,[2] and they would also lose Mark Andrews and Keaton Mitchell to injuries as well, although the former returned for the playoffs. Despite these injuries, the Ravens had their best season since 2019 when they went 14–2. They clinched the first AFC playoff berth in Week 15 after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. They won the AFC North and clinched the No. 1 seed for the first time since 2019 after a blowout Week 17 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens finished the season with a 13–4 record, including 10 wins over teams with winning records (an NFL record),[3] five of which came against teams that entered the game as division leaders that were three games or more over .500. They also held a lead in all, but one game during the season, which was the season-finale loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens defense also led the league in sacks, points per game, and takeaways, becoming the first team in NFL history to lead in all three categories.[4]

Lamar Jackson had 303 total yards and two rushing touchdowns, but also lost one of two fumbles; another fumble was lost by Kenyan Drake. Justin Tucker was short on a potentially game-winning 61-yard field goal with :01 left to go in regulation as well. With the upset loss, the Ravens fell to 2–1.

The Ravens gained 335 yards compared to the Steelers' 289 and picked up 19 first downs compared to the Steelers' 17. However, the Steelers won the game due to several Baltimore miscues. Most notably, Baltimore was plagued by nine dropped passes, including some that would have resulted in big gains and touchdowns. Furthermore, near the end of the first half, the Ravens had a 10-3 lead and possession of the ball in field goal range for star kicker Justin Tucker. On a fourth and two, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh planned to run a hard count and send Tucker out to attempt the kick and extend the lead. Instead, Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum mistakenly snapped the ball on the hard count, causing Ravens players to be surprised and turn the ball over on downs. Finally, Lamar Jackson threw a costly interception in the red zone after Pittsburgh punt returner Gunner Olszewski lost a fumble to set the Ravens up with a goal to go situation and a chance to extend the Raven lead to two scores. The Steelers eventually took advantage of the Ravens' mistakes and took their first lead (which they would not relinquish) on a George Pickens 41-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes remaining in the game.[21] This also would end up being the Ravens only road loss of the season.

For the second time in three weeks, the Ravens blew out a division leader with a 37–3 rout of the Seattle Seahawks. Undrafted rookie Keaton Mitchell ran for 138 yards and a touchdown on nine carries; he had not had a rushing attempt prior to this game, and he was named the FedEx Ground Player of the Week for his performance. The Ravens would rush for 298 yards and three touchdowns as a team while the defense held the Seahawks to just 151 total yards on offense. WR Odell Beckham Jr., who was playing on his 31st birthday, also caught his first touchdown as a Raven in the fourth quarter. With the win, the Ravens improved to 7–2.

In a surprisingly back and forth shootout, backup punt returner Tylan Wallace returned a punt 76 yards for a walk-off overtime touchdown for a 37–31 win. Jackson threw for 316 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception while also rushing for 70 yards. He led the Ravens on a go-ahead touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter before the Rams tied it at 31-all with a field goal with :07 left in regulation. With the victory, the Ravens improved to 10–3 and took control of the AFC's number one seed when the Miami Dolphins lost to the Tennessee Titans the next day.

Coming into this game as huge underdogs (+6.5), things got off to a rough start, with intentional grounding called in the endzone on Lamar Jackson, giving the 49ers a safety and thus a 2-0 lead, which the 49ers would extend to 5-0. However, the Ravens would settle down and forced four Brock Purdy interceptions (he was later knocked out of the game due to a stinger in the fourth quarter) while Jackson led the offense to seven consecutive scoring drives to open up a 33-12 lead. The 49ers attempted to comeback in the fourth quarter, but the game was sealed when the Ravens picked off Sam Darnold in the end zone with less than two minutes to go as the Ravens won by a final score of 33-19. This win moved Baltimore to 12-3 on the season, along with sealing a 7-1 season road record.

The Ravens won the AFC North and clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs with a 56–19 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins, their fifth win over a division leader in the 2023 season. Lamar Jackson threw for 321 yards and career-high tying five touchdowns and finished with a perfect passer rating; he also rushed for 35 yards. Rookie Wide Receiver Zay Flowers had three receptions for 106 yards, most of which came on a 75-yard touchdown reception from Jackson in the second quarter; it was Flowers first 100 yard receiving game as a pro. This was also the first game to end with a 56–19 final score.[22] With the win, the Ravens improved to 13–3.
