It seems like Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is still trying to find respect. And maybe with Derrick Henry still rolling, Jackson can finally get that elusive Super Bowl win this year. But for now, the 2025 team will have to earn its way among the 10 greatest Ravens teams of all time.
It’s no surprise who sits in the No. 1 spot on this list. After all, this is an organization that prides itself on defense.
However, there may be surprises along the way. So away we go!
After a 12-4 regular season, the Ravens managed only a Wild Card berth with the Steelers winning the division on a tiebreaker. That sent the Ravens up against the Chiefs, and they blew them out, 31-7.
However, that only meant a third game against the Steelers. The previous two contests had been decided by three points each. This one turned out to be an exciting battle despite the Ravens leading 21-7 at the break.
The Steelers rallied for a 24-21 lead, but Billy Cundiff tied the game with a 24-yard field goal with 3:54 to go. However, the Steelers earned the win on Rashard Mendenhall’s 2-yard run with 1:33 left.
A three-game losing streak started in late November, and the Ravens appeared to be toast. However, they rallied for five straight victories to finish 11-5 and grab a wild-card spot.
That wasn’t good news for the Titans, who couldn’t get Derrick Henry going despite an early 10-0 lead. The Ravens took the lead in the third quarter on J.K. Dobbins’ 4-yard scoring run and eventually earned a 20-13 win.
But Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense sputtered in the divisional round against the Bills. Jackson threw for 162 yards with no touchdowns and a pick. He got sacked three times in the 17-3 loss.
Things looked pretty solid as the Ravens went 11-5 and earned a Wild Card berth. They took on the Dolphins and came away with a solid 27-9 win.
In the divisional round, the Ravens got a 43-yard field goal from Matt Stover with 53 seconds remaining for a 13-10 win. That pushed them into the AFC Championship game against the rival Steelers.
The Ravens made a push, getting a 1-yard scoring run from Willis McGahee with 9:29 left in the game to make it 16-14. However, the Steelers sealed the deal when Troy Polamalu picked off Flacco and raced 40 yards for a score with 4:24 to go. Flacco tossed three picks with no touchdowns and got sacked three times.
Most of the great Ravens teams anchored their identity on defense, and this was no exception. The Ravens ranked No. 1 in fewest points allowed with 201.
Steve McNair was wrapping up his NFL career and led the Ravens to a 13-3 regular season, winning nine of their last 10 games. The victories set a franchise record that stood for 13...
