The 2022 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 27th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 15th under head coach John Harbaugh. They improved on their 8–9 record from the previous season and qualified for the postseason after missing the playoffs the previous season.

Contents

The Ravens' three preseason victories extended their preseason winning streak to 23 games, which is an NFL record. [1] The Ravens also held double-digit leads in their first 10 games of the season (they would have only three after that). However, this was also the first season in franchise history that the Ravens went the entire season without scoring a defensive touchdown.

Injuries on offense again plagued the Ravens for the second straight year, despite it resulting in a playoff appearance. RBs Gus Edwards and J. K. Dobbins missed time during the season, WR Rashod Bateman sustained a season-ending injury in Week 8, and WR Devin Duvernay also sustained a season-ending injury late in the season. QB Lamar Jackson also suffered a knee injury in Week 13. Although it was initially expected to be a short-term injury, he missed the rest of the season. The offense was severely hampered with backup Tyler Huntley under center and the Ravens did not score more than 17 points in any game he started, although Huntley was selected to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement. The Ravens also had trouble closing out games; they blew four games where they led by at least ten points, including three in the first six weeks of the season; two of which were by 17 or more points.

Without Lamar under center, the Ravens suffered a 24–17 loss to the division rival Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card round, ending their season. This marked the first time the Ravens lost in the Wild Card round on the road after previously going 6–0 in such games.

The Ravens used dominating performances by QB Lamar Jackson, RB Kenyan Drake, and their defense en route to 27–13 win over the Saints. Jackson had 133 passing yards and a TD along with 82 rushing yards while Drake had 93 rushing yards and 2 TDs along with 16 receiving yards. Meanwhile, the defense sacked Saints QB Andy Dalton four times and picked him off once. The Saints did not eclipse 200 total yards of offense until late in the fourth quarter with Baltimore already holding a 27–6 lead. With the win, the Ravens improved to 6–3 heading into their bye week.

The Ravens defense had another strong performance en route to a low-scoring 13–3 win. The defense forced three fourth quarter turnovers, sacked Panthers QB Baker Mayfield four times, and held the Panthers to under 200 yards of total offense until under two minutes left in the game. The performance by the defense made up for an unexpectedly sluggish Ravens offense that put up only one scoring drive up until the fourth quarter, which caused the game to be tied at a mere 3–3 before the Ravens pulled away with 10 unanswered points in the final frame. With the win, the Ravens improved to 7–3.

After winning 3 consecutive games in a row, the Baltimore Ravens headed to Jacksonville to get their 4th consecutive win. However, after having a slight lead, the Ravens collapsed entirely, allowing a Jaguars comeback drive that ended with a Marvin Jones Jr. touchdown and a Zay Jones 2-point conversion to give the Jaguars the lead. Justin Tucker attempted a potential game-winning 67-yard field goal at the end of the game, which would've broken his own record for the longest NFL field goal made, but the kick fell short, and the Jaguars won.

Despite losing QB Tyler Huntley in the third quarter to a concussion, the Ravens used strong performances by RB J. K. Dobbins, K Justin Tucker, and their defense to hold off the Steelers in a 16–14 win. The Steelers also lost their QB Kenny Pickett in the first quarter to a concussion and were forced to rely on Mitchell Trubisky, who threw three interceptions. The Steelers also had a short field goal blocked by DE Calais Campbell in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Dobbins ran for 120 yards and a TD while Tucker converted all four of his kicks (1 XP and 3 FGs). With the win, the Ravens improved to 9-4 and remained atop the AFC North due to having the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens started Anthony Brown for this game due to Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson being injured. Brown would commit three of Baltimore’s four turnovers in this 16–27 loss. Had Baltimore won the game, the site of the wild card game between the two teams would be determined by a coin flip, following the rule changes put in place after the Bills-Bengals game was ruled no contest.
