This season also marked the first year in which Terrell Suggs and Joe Flacco were not on the Ravens roster since 2002 and 2007, respectively, as Suggs left to join the Arizona Cardinals (later released and signed by the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs) and Flacco was traded to the Denver Broncos.
[1] The Ravens started the season as the only NFL team with three former Heisman Trophy winners on their roster: Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram II, and Robert Griffin III.
[17] Notes Front office Head coaches Offensive coaches Special teams coaches Strength and conditioning Running backs (RB) Wide receivers (WR) Tight ends (TE) Defensive linemen (DL) Defensive backs (DB) Special teams Reserve Note The Ravens alternated home and away games every game of the season, becoming just the fourth team to do so since the NFL season expanded to 16 games in 1978.
The Ravens scored a franchise-high 42 points in the first half and Lamar Jackson threw five touchdown passes with no interceptions and became the youngest quarterback to achieve a perfect passer rating.
[24] All three of the Ravens' Heisman Trophy winners (Jackson, Mark Ingram II and Robert Griffin III) were involved in scoring plays.
The Ravens then mounted a 13 play touchdown drive but failed for the second time in the game on a two-point conversion attempt, cutting the Chiefs' lead to 30–19.
After the teams exchanged field goals, the Ravens scored on a nine-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a Lamar Jackson 9-yard touchdown run, but again, the two-point conversion failed and the Chiefs ran out the clock.
In the second half, Nick Chubb had an 88-yard touchdown run to extend the Browns' lead just two plays after the Ravens had cut the score to 24–18.
In the third quarter, Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was knocked unconscious after being hit by Brandon Carr and Earl Thomas.
The Ravens hosted the unbeaten Patriots for the teams' first meeting since 2016, handing New England its first loss since Week 15 of the previous season as Baltimore rushed for 210 yards.
In the fourth quarter, Earl Thomas intercepted a Brady pass and the Ravens mounted another 14 play drive ending with a Jackson 1-yard rushing touchdown, making the lead 37–20.
In the second quarter, the Bengals got a Randy Bullock 42-yard field goal; but the Ravens then pulled away as Jackson found Andrews again on a 17-yard touchdown pass to make it 21–3.
The 49ers then completed a 14-play drive lasting almost eight-and-a-half minutes, but were forced to kick a field goal which tied the game at 17.
Neither team could score in the fourth quarter until the 6:28 mark when the Ravens drove the ball down to the 49ers' 31 where Justin Tucker kicked a 49-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.
[45] Also, a light moment in an otherwise competitive game occurred in the third quarter when some pages from Ravens special teams coach Randy Brown's playbook blew onto the field and Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White retrieved them.
Lamar Jackson threw 5 touchdown passes and broke the NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a season as the Ravens won the AFC North title.
But with less than two minutes remaining in the half Lamar Jackson hit Mark Andrews with 2 touchdown passes and the Ravens took a 14–6 lead into the locker room at half-time.
The Ravens defense limited the league's top rusher, Cleveland running back Nick Chubb, to 45 yards; his lowest output of the 2019 season.
On the day after the Ravens' victory over the Browns, and due to the Ravens' having clinched home-field advantage, head coach John Harbaugh announced that quarterback Lamar Jackson, guard Marshal Yanda, safety Earl Thomas III and defensive tackle Brandon Williams will be inactive for the Week 17 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Harbaugh also announced that running back Mark Ingram II will not play; allowing him to recover from the calf injury he sustained in the Browns game.
The Ravens got the ball back with 54 seconds left in the half when Matthew Judon sacked Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges forcing him to fumble.
After the teams exchanged field goals, the Ravens defense, late in the fourth quarter, stripped the ball from Steelers punter Jordan Berry and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.
They clinched the AFC North division following their Week 15 win over the New York Jets, guaranteeing at least one home playoff game.
[54][55] On the Ravens' first drive of the game, Lamar Jackson threw a pass that bounced off the hands of Mark Andrews and was intercepted by safety Kevin Byard, who returned it 31 yards, with an unnecessary roughness penalty against Jackson for a horse-collar tackle adding another 15 yards and giving Tennessee a first down on the Ravens' 35-yard line.
[55] Jackson attempted to convert with a quarterback sneak, but he was tackled by linebacker David Long Jr. for no gain on the last play of the first quarter.
Then when faced with 3rd and goal from the 3-yard line, Henry took a direct snap out of wildcat formation and threw a jump pass to Corey Davis for a touchdown.
[55] This gave Tennessee a 21–6 lead and made Henry the first running back to throw a touchdown pass in the postseason since Allen Rice in the 1987 season.
[57] On the first play of the Ravens' next possession, defensive end Jurrell Casey forced a fumble while sacking Jackson,[56] which Jeffery Simmons recovered for Tennessee on the Baltimore 20-yard line.
[55] Baltimore responded with a drive to the Titans' 36-yard line, only to lose the ball again with a Jackson pass that was intercepted by safety Kenny Vaccaro.
After forcing Tennessee to punt, the Ravens finally managed to score a touchdown, moving the ball 83 yards in 10 plays, the longest a 27-yard run by Jackson.
