The 1998 season was the Baltimore Ravens' third season in the National Football League (NFL) and the last of Ted Marchibroda's three-year tenure as head coach of the organization. This was the Ravens' first year playing at Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards, now known as M&T Bank Stadium.
The season also included a November 29 visit from the city's former team, the Colts, for the first time since their controversial relocation in 1984.
After the season, Donny Brady retired after being with the team since their time as the Cleveland Browns. He later returned to the Canadian Football League, playing from 2002–2006.
