[41] He was named to the Pro Bowl and earned first team All-Pro honors. [42] [43] In the 2003 season, Lewis led the NFL in rushing with 2,066 yards, falling just 40 yards short of officially breaking the all-time single-season rushing record, which remains Eric Dickerson's 2,105 record-breaking yards in 1984. [44] Lewis became the fifth running back to join the 2,000 rushing yards club. [45] In addition, he tallied 14 rushing touchdowns. [33] He was named MVP and Offensive Player of the Year by the PFWA. [46] [47] 2004 season In Week 3 of the 2004 season, Lewis had 18 carries for 186 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to go with a 46-yard reception in the 23–9 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. [48] In Week 17, he had 34 carries for 167 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in the 30–23 victory over the Miami Dolphins. [49] In the 2004 season, Lewis appeared in and started 12 games.

He finished with 269 carries for 906 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns to go along with 32 carries for 191 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. [51] After the 2005 season, the Ravens declined to place the franchise tag on Lewis, making him an unrestricted free agent after the end of the season. [52] This move was seen by many as a formality in letting Lewis move to another team. Popular speculation blamed Lewis' steadily declining performance since the 2003 season. Lewis had also voiced displeasure during the 2005 season over the team's failure to sign him to a long-term deal. Despite these events, the Ravens re-signed Lewis on March 13, 2006, with a three-year deal, [53] despite having signed former Denver Broncos running back Mike Anderson, who was widely thought to be Lewis' replacement. [54] 2006 season On November 19, 2006, Lewis rushed for a season-high three touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons. [55] He ended the season with 314 carries for 1,132 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. [56] On February 28, 2007, the Ravens announced that they released Lewis. However, general manager Ozzie Newsome pointed out that they hoped to re-sign him, [57] but that changed on March 7, 2007, when Lewis signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns.

[61] In Week 15, against the Buffalo Bills, he had 33 carries for 163 rushing yards in the 8–0 victory. [62] Lewis had his first 1,300+ yard season since 2003 in his first season with the Browns, rushing for 1,304 yards and nine touchdowns. [63] He finished fifth in the league in rushing yards. [64] 2008 season On November 8, 2008, The Plain Dealer reported that Lewis was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates in the Browns' recent loss to the Denver Broncos. Lewis stated, "This is the NFL, you can't call it quits until the game is over." Lewis went on to say "it looks to me like some people called it quits before that. Denver was down, but they didn't call it quits. They kept their heads up and they finished. We didn't do that two weeks in a row – at home." Without naming names, Lewis said: "Some people need to check their egos at the door and find some heart to come out here and play hard. This is a man's game. The way we went out there and played two weeks in a row, finishing the same kind of way, it's not there. I think there are some men around here that need to check theirselves, straight up. That's it." [65] In the 2008 season, Lewis started in all 16 games for the Browns. He finished with 279 carries for 1,002 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns to go along with 23 receptions for 178 receiving yards.

[69] In the 2009 season, Lewis appeared in nine games and started eight. He finished with 143 carries for 500 rushing yards to go along with eight receptions for 88 receiving yards. [70] On February 17, 2010, the Browns released Lewis. [71] Lewis did not sign with another NFL team after his release from the Browns.
