The 2024 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 29th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 17th under head coach John Harbaugh. The team failed to match or improve on their 13–4 record from 2023 after a loss to the eventual Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.
The Ravens publicly announced that they would honor the 2024 season to the recently deceased Jacoby Jones, former wide receiver, and Joe D'Alessandris, former offensive line coach.
The Ravens started 0–2 for the first time since 2015, but won 12 of their last 15 games the rest of the way to finish the season 12–5, including 9 victories over teams that had a winning record. With Lamar Jackson's five touchdown performance in the Ravens win in Week 7, the Ravens became the first team in NFL history with players winning Offensive Player of the Week in four consecutive weeks (Derrick Henry won the honor in week 4 and 6 while Lamar Jackson won the honor for week 5 and 7). Following a Week 16 victory against the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens clinched a playoff spot for the third consecutive season and their sixth in seven years. In Week 18, they won the AFC North title for the second year in a row with a win over the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens finished the regular season accumulating 7224 total offensive yards, the most in franchise history. The Ravens would also become the first team in NFL history to have 4000 passing yards and 3000 rushing yards in the same regular season. They also had 5.8 yards per carry during the season, which is the 2nd most in NFL history behind only the 1948 San Francisco 49ers. Lamar Jackson had one of the most efficient passing seasons of all time by throwing 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and completed 66.7 percent of his passes to go with his 119.6 passer rating, which was the 4th highest single-season passer rating in NFL history. Zay Flowers was selected to play in the Pro Bowl, making him the first Baltimore Raven wide receiver to earn this honor.
NFL statistician Aaron Schatz calculated that the 2024 Ravens' offense was, play-for-play, the 4th most efficient offense since the AFL-NFL Merger in 1970, behind only the 2007 New England Patriots, the 1982 San Diego Chargers, and the 2010 Patriots.
The Ravens opened up their postseason run with a 28–14 win over the Steelers in the Wild Card Round to advance to the Divisional Round but were defeated by the Buffalo Bills by a score of 27–25, ending Baltimore's season.
