The 2023 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 28th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 16th under head coach John Harbaugh. Baltimore made their second consecutive postseason appearance, having improved on their 10–7 record from the previous season.

The Ravens' NFL-record preseason winning streak was snapped at 24 games when they lost to the Washington Commanders in the second week of the preseason.

Both Nick Moore and Trayvon Mullen suffered season-ending injuries before the season started and Marlon Humphrey missed the beginning of the season due to a foot injury that required surgery.[1] J. K. Dobbins also suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1. By Week 4, 20 players had suffered injuries, including all three of the Ravens' primary running backs,[2] and they would also lose Mark Andrews and Keaton Mitchell to injuries as well, although the former returned for the playoffs. Despite these injuries, the Ravens had their best season since 2019, when they went 14–2. They clinched the first AFC playoff berth in Week 15 after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. They won the AFC North and clinched the No. 1 seed for the second time in franchise history (after 2019) with a blowout Week 17 victory over the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens finished the season with a 13–4 record, including 10 wins over teams that finished with winning records (an NFL record),[3] five of which came against teams that entered the game as division leaders who were three games or more over .500. They also held a lead in all but one game during the season, which was the season-finale loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in which most of their starters were resting and didn't play. The Ravens defense also led the league in sacks, points per game, and takeaways, becoming the first team in NFL history to lead in all three categories.[4] Quarterback Lamar Jackson won the season’s NFL MVP award, his second.[5]

The Ravens defeated the Houston Texans 34–10 in the Divisional Round of the playoffs to advance to their first AFC Championship Game since 2012 before losing to the defending & eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in that game. This was the first time in franchise history that the Ravens hosted the AFC Championship Game, the first time the city of Baltimore has hosted the game since January 1971, and the first time in franchise history the Ravens hosted more than one home playoff game.

The Ravens gained 335 yards compared to the Steelers' 289 and picked up 19 first downs compared to the Steelers' 17. However, the Steelers won the game due to several Baltimore miscues. Most notably, Baltimore was plagued by nine dropped passes, including some that would have resulted in big gains and touchdowns. Furthermore, near the end of the first half, the Ravens had a 10-3 lead and possession of the ball in field goal range for star kicker Justin Tucker. On a fourth and two, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh planned to run a hard count and send Tucker out to attempt the kick and extend the lead. Instead, Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum mistakenly snapped the ball on the hard count, causing Ravens players to be surprised and turn the ball over on downs. Finally, Lamar Jackson threw a costly interception in the red zone after Pittsburgh punt returner Gunner Olszewski lost a fumble to set the Ravens up with a goal to go situation and a chance to extend the Raven lead to two scores. The Steelers eventually took advantage of the Ravens' mistakes and took their first lead (which they would not relinquish) on a George Pickens 41-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes remaining in the game.[22] This also would end up being the Ravens only road loss of the season.

Despite both teams coming into this game at 11–3, the Ravens were huge underdogs (+6.5).[citation needed] Things got off to a rough start, with intentional grounding called in the endzone on Lamar Jackson after he tripped over a referee, giving the 49ers a safety and thus a 2–0 lead, which the 49ers would extend to 5–0. However, the Ravens would settle down and forced four Brock Purdy interceptions (he was later knocked out of the game due to a stinger in the fourth quarter) while Jackson led the offense to seven consecutive scoring drives to open up a 33–12 lead. The 49ers attempted to come back in the fourth quarter, but the game was sealed when the Ravens picked off Sam Darnold in the end zone with less than two minutes to go as the Ravens won by a final score of 33–19. This win moved Baltimore to 12–3 on the season, along with sealing a 7–1 season road record.

This was the second postseason meeting between the Ravens and Texans. The first was the 2011 AFC Divisional Round, which the Ravens won by a score of 20–13 in Baltimore.

Despite a ragged offensive start in the first half, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense would settle into a groove in the second half, outscoring Houston 24-0. Though not getting a takeaway nor recording a sack on rookie quarterback C. J. Stroud, the Ravens defense dominated Houston. They did not allow any offensive plays by Houston inside the Ravens' 25 yard line nor gave up an offensive touchdown. Houston's only points came by a field goal and a punt return touchdown in the first half. The Baltimore crowd noise also caused a litany of Houston pre-snap penalties. Baltimore would eventually win by a final score of 34-10, advancing to their first AFC Championship Game since 2012, their first home AFC Championship Game in franchise history and the first in Baltimore since the Baltimore Colts hosted in 1971. This was also their first home playoff win since the 2012 AFC Wild Card.

Jackson completed 16 of his 22 passing attempts for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 100 yards with two rushing touchdowns.

This was the Ravens' fifth appearance in the AFC Championship Game and second postseason meeting against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs were playing in their 6th consecutive AFC title game and the Ravens were attempting to reach their third Super Bowl in franchise history. The Ravens also hosted the AFC title game for the first time in franchise history.

The game was a relatively low-scoring game to decide the AFC's representation in Super Bowl LVIII. Both teams struggled offensively as the score was 17–7 at halftime, with the Chiefs scoring 10 points in the second quarter. The Ravens ended up turning the ball over a total of three times, with the final two turnovers coming during crucial drives during the fourth quarter. In the third quarter Zay Flowers fumbled the ball while plunging to the end zone goal line thus both damaging the points attempt and turning over the ball.[25] The Ravens found themselves down 17–7 with 10:35 to go in the fourth quarter. The Ravens drove down the field to the Chiefs' 25-yard line until QB Lamar Jackson made a crucial mistake, throwing into triple coverage that was intercepted by Chiefs safety Deon Bush in the end zone. Despite the interception, the Ravens' defense allowed no points on the drive following the interception and the Ravens received the ball again. The Ravens would go down the field before settling for a field goal to cut the Chiefs' lead to seven. The Chiefs received the ball with 2:34 to go in the fourth and ultimately iced the game with a 32-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling to seal the Chiefs' second consecutive trip to the Super Bowl.
