Overview
The 2019 Baltimore Ravens season was the franchise's 24th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 12th under head coach John Harbaugh. This was the team's first season under general manager Eric DeCosta following the retirement of Ozzie Newsome.
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.
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.
The Ravens were also the only NFL team to score at least 20 points in each of their games during the season. and the only team to score on more than half of their drives. By Week 13, the Ravens improved to 10–2 for the first time in franchise history and extended their winning streak to eight games, also a franchise (regular season) record. After a win against the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens won their ninth consecutive game and improved on their 10–6 record from 2018. That win also clinched a second straight playoff berth for the team. Quarterback Lamar Jackson became only the second quarterback in NFL history to run for over 1,000 yards, and the following week, he broke Michael Vick's all-time single season quarterback rushing record during the game against the New York Jets.
By Week 15, the Ravens had scored more points (430) in a single season than any other team in franchise history. In Week 15, they clinched their second straight AFC North title with a 42–21 victory over the Jets.
