Game summaries Week 1: Buffalo Bills 41, Baltimore Ravens 40 In a rematch of last season's
AFC Divisional Playoffs, the Ravens squandered strong performances by running back
Derrick Henry and receiver
Zay Flowers, blowing a 40–25 lead in the fourth quarter as they lost to Josh Allen and the Bills, 41–40, on a 32-yard last-second field goal by Matt Prater. The Ravens were unable to overcome two three-and-outs and a Henry fumble on their last three drives, in addition to 250 passing yards and three touchdowns by Allen in the fourth quarter alone. With the loss, their first regular season loss in Buffalo since
2013, the Ravens started their season 0–1 for the second consecutive season. This was also the first time the Ravens started 0–1 in back-to-back seasons since
2015, as well as the first time an NFL team had lost after scoring 40 or more points and rushing for over 235 yards. This was the first game to end in a 41–40 final score.
Week 2: Baltimore Ravens 41, Cleveland Browns 17 The Ravens faced their former quarterback
Joe Flacco in Baltimore for the first time (the prior meeting was against the New York Jets on the road). After a sluggish first half, the Ravens dominated the second half and blew out the Browns 41–17. Baltimore's defense swarmed Flacco, who finished 25-of-45 for 199 yards with a touchdown, an interception, and a fumble, which was returned for a touchdown. Meanwhile, quarterback
Lamar Jackson threw for 225 yards and four touchdowns. With the win, the Ravens rebounded from the disappointing loss the previous week and improved to 1–1.
Week 3: Detroit Lions 38, Baltimore Ravens 30 For the first time in team history, the Ravens lost to the Lions at home, and it was also their first loss to them since
2005. Lamar Jackson was sacked seven times, and Derrick Henry had a critical lost fumble in the 4th quarter with the Ravens trailing 24–28, his third lost fumble in as many games. With the upset loss, the Ravens fell to 1–2 for the second consecutive season.
Week 4: Kansas City Chiefs 37, Baltimore Ravens 20 Baltimore entered the matchup against Kansas City without a total of six defensive starters. Baltimore scored the game's first set of points with a touchdown to
Justice Hill, but the team could never control the game. Backup quarterback
Cooper Rush entered the game in the fourth quarter with Lamar Jackson suffering a hamstring injury. With a poor performance against the Chiefs, the Ravens dropped to 1–3, their first such start since
2015. They fell to 1–6 against the Chiefs since
2018.
Week 5: Houston Texans 44, Baltimore Ravens 10 With Lamar Jackson out with that hamstring injury, Baltimore was thoroughly dominated throughout the game, being outplayed in all phases. On the opening drive, the Ravens allowed
C. J. Stroud and the Texans to score their first offensive touchdown against them, having failed to score one in each of the previous three meetings. The Ravens lost 44–10, ending a six-game winning streak against Houston and suffering their first home loss to the Texans in franchise history. The 34-point margin tied the worst home loss in Ravens history, equaling a 41–7 defeat to the
New England Patriots in
2013. With the loss, the Ravens fell to 1–4, marking their worst start to a season since the
2015 season.
Week 10: Baltimore Ravens 27, Minnesota Vikings 19 The Ravens defeated the Vikings in what marked Lamar Jackson's 100th regular-season start. The win also gave Baltimore its first road victory against Minnesota in franchise history, and John Harbaugh recorded at least one win in every current NFL city.
Week 11: Baltimore Ravens 23, Cleveland Browns 16 Although the Ravens entered the game as more than a touchdown favorite, the Browns led for much of the game. After tying the game at 16–16 with two field goals in the fourth quarter,
Mark Andrews ran for a 35-yard go-ahead touchdown on a trick play on 4th-and-1 with 2:31 remaining, giving the Ravens the lead. The Browns attempted to make a comeback drive, but turned the ball over on downs after failing to convert a 4th-and-5 from the Baltimore 25-yard line with 0:57 remaining, securing the victory for Baltimore. This marked the Ravens’ first sweep of the Browns since the
2020 season, improving Baltimore's record to 5–5 on the year and 39–15 all-time against Cleveland. The Ravens also spoiled
Shedeur Sanders’ debut; he finished 4-of-16 with an interception and a 13.5 passer rating after coming into the game in the third quarter due to
Dillon Gabriel suffering an injury. He was also sacked twice as the Browns went scoreless in the second half. Mark Andrews also became the Ravens’ career leader in receiving yards (5,806) during the game, surpassing wide receiver
Derrick Mason’s previous franchise record of 5,777.
Week 12: Baltimore Ravens 23, New York Jets 10 Derrick Henry rushed for 64 yards on 21 carries, including two two-yard third-quarter touchdowns, as the Ravens overcame a sluggish start on offense in the first half to beat the Jets 23–10. With their fifth straight win, the Ravens improved to 6–5, the first time they had been over .500 this season, and moved into first place in the AFC North as the
Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the
Chicago Bears that same day.
Week 13: Cincinnati Bengals 32, Baltimore Ravens 14 Thanksgiving Day games The Ravens played a sloppy game and were absolutely dominated, committing four fumbles, including two by Lamar Jackson. Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow, making his return after suffering a turf toe injury in Week 2, threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns, contributing to a Ravens loss. This was the Ravens' first Thanksgiving loss, making the
Houston Texans the only team in the NFL with at least two Thanksgiving wins without a loss. It was also Baltimore's first since Thanksgiving game since
2013. They were originally scheduled to play on Thanksgiving in
2020, but the 2020 game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak. The game was also the most-watched Thanksgiving night game in NFL history with an average of 28.4 million viewers across NBC,
Peacock, and
Telemundo.
Week 14: Pittsburgh Steelers 27, Baltimore Ravens 22 A controversial moment occurred when
Isaiah Likely caught a pass from Lamar Jackson with both hands in the end zone, with both feet down. As he was about to take another step with his right foot, Steelers’ cornerback
Joey Porter Jr. knocked the ball free. The play was initially ruled a touchdown but was later overturned to an incomplete pass. The Ravens eventually turned the ball over on downs. The next day, Ravens guard
Ben Cleveland was suspended for 3 games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Week 15: Baltimore Ravens 24, Cincinnati Bengals 0 The Ravens entered the game hoping to avenge their 32–14 Thanksgiving defeat to the Bengals. The Ravens would do so, as they never once trailed, and held the Bengals scoreless. The Ravens recorded their first shutout win since beating the
Tennessee Titans 21–0 in the
2018 season. Also with the win, the Ravens improved to 7–7, and keeping their playoff hopes alive while ending those of the Bengals.
Week 16: New England Patriots 28, Baltimore Ravens 24 At the end of the half, Lamar Jackson was taken out of the game with a back injury and was later ruled out. In the fourth quarter, Derrick Henry rushed for a touchdown to give the Ravens a 24–13 lead. However, that was the last time Henry touched the ball. Patriots quarterback
Drake Maye then rallied the Patriots, throwing two touchdown passes to give New England a 28–24 lead. On Baltimore's next drive, Zay Flowers fumbled, and the Patriots ran out the clock to secure the win. With the loss, Baltimore fell to 7–8 (2–2 against the AFC East) and finished 3–6 at home. This also marked the 17th time the Ravens blew a multi possession lead since
2008.
Week 17: Baltimore Ravens 41, Green Bay Packers 24 Derrick Henry recorded one of his best performances of the season, rushing for a career-high 216 yards on 36 carries and scoring four touchdowns to lead the Ravens to a victory over the Packers. With the upset win, the Ravens improved to 8–8 while finishing 3–1 against the NFC North and 3–2 against the NFC overall. Following the Steelers' loss to the Browns on Sunday, the outcome set up a winner-take-all matchup in the season finale to determine the AFC North champion.
Week 18: Pittsburgh Steelers 26, Baltimore Ravens 24 Despite a late rally, Tyler Loop missed the game-winning field goal when time expired, which denied the Ravens a chance to win a third straight AFC North title. As a result, the Ravens were swept by the Steelers and eliminated from playoff contention while having their first losing season since 2021. Baltimore ended their season at 8–9 (3–3 against the AFC North) and 5–3 on the road. Two days after the loss, head coach John Harbaugh was fired.
