Fresh off their victory trip from Super Bowl XXXV, bad news struck the 2001 Ravens as running back Jamal Lewis suffered a knee injury in training camp and would miss the entire season.

They also got swept by the Browns for the first time since they returned to Cleveland, and they also failed to equal their 12–4 record from 2000, instead going 10–6 but eventually reaching the postseason for the second consecutive year.

This was the final season Randall Cunningham, Dale Hellestrae, Erik Williams and Carnell Lake would play in the NFL.
