After 20 years together... there’s nothing we can’t tackle. Trusted medical team of the Ravens. And you.

QUOTH THE

RAVEN

“Just truly incredible. I say it week after week, but he brings it week after week. Every game, his will, his fight, he’s after perfection. His will to win games and be on point, to be him, to be Lamar, and even elevate that from week to week is truly unbelievable. He’s a perfectionist, he wants to be perfect. It’s so awesome and incredible to play with a guy like that.”

TE Mark Andrews on QB Lamar Jackson’s 2024 season

Capturing the conference’s No. 3 playoff seed, the 12-5 Baltimore Ravens won the AFC North title for the secondstraight year and fourth time in the past seven seasons. ... Winning four-straight games to close out the regular season – including three contests during an 11day span in late December – Baltimore earned a playoff berth for the thirdstraight year and for sixth time in the past seven seasons.

A league-high nine of Baltimore’s victories in 2024 came vs. teams that finished with a winning record. ... The Ravens also played a league-high 12 games against teams that produced a winning record, while they were 7-3 vs. teams that made the playoffs.

In his 17th year at Baltimore’s helm, John Harbaugh is the NFL’s second-longesttenured coach (Mike Tomlin – 18) and has now led the Ravens to 12 playoff berths. ... Producing a 184-114 overall record, which includes a victory in Super Bowl XLVII (2012), Harbaugh is one of only five coaches in NFL history to lead his team to at least 12 playoff berths in the first 17 seasons of a career (also Pete Carroll, Bud Grant, Mike Holmgren & Mike McCarthy).

NUMBERS TO NOTE

9 – An NFL-high Pro Bowlers for the Ravens in 2024: WR Zay Flowers, S Kyle Hamilton, RB Derrick Henry, QB Lamar Jackson, CB Marlon Humphrey, C Tyler Linderbaum, DT Nnamdi Madubuike, FB Patrick Ricard & ILB Roquan Smith.

No. 1 – Fueled by RB Derrick Henry (1,921 rushing yards) Baltimore finished the regular season with the NFL’s top rushing attack (187.6 ypg). The Ravens were also the No. 1-ranked defense against the run (80.1 ypg).

12 – The Ravens have made the playoffs 12 times in the John Harbaugh Era (2008-24), which ties (KC and NE) for the second most in the NFL. Only Green Bay (13) has earned a playoff berth more times in that span.

The Ravens now host the 10-7 Steelers in a Wild Card showdown that marks the 10th home playoff game in franchise history (4-5 record) and fifth postseason matchup between these fierce division rivals. (Pittsburgh leads the all-time playoff series, 3-1.)

In 2024, Baltimore’s No. 1 offense (424.9 ypg) became the first unit in NFL history to post at least 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards in a single season. ... The Ravens’ franchise-record 7,224 total yards stand as the third most in NFL single-season history, trailing

only the 2011 Saints (7,474) and 2013 Broncos (7,317). ... Baltimore (41 & 21) also became the first team in NFL singleseason history to score 40+ passing TDs & 20+ rushing TDs.

Two-time MVP QB Lamar Jackson was remarkable yet again, posting career highs in each passing yards (4,172), passing TDs (41) and passer rating (119.6), while throwing just 4 INTs. He became the first QB in NFL history with at least 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards (he had 915) in a single season.

THE TEAM’S MENTALITY AND PLAYING IN TONIGHT’S WILD CARD GAME:

“Last year when we were in the locker room after the AFC Championship Game, we knew we had a long road to go to get back to this very point. You get back in the playoffs with an opportunity to take the next step, and we’re not there yet. We have this next game; we have a Wild Card game to get ready for, so that will be our next challenge.”

2024 GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL

On Nov. 8, the Ravens hosted the 2024 Maryland High School Girls Flag Football Championship at M&T Bank Stadium. OLB Tavius Robinson and ILB Trenton Simpson (above) were on hand to take in the action and support the student-athletes.

GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL

In February of 2023, the Baltimore Ravens and Under Armour teamed up for the official launch and development of high school girls flag football in Maryland.

COMMUNITY SHOWCASE ON RAVENSWALK

Tonight’s Community Showcase featured Leveling the Playing Field. For more information on the organization, please visit: www.levelingtheplayingfield.org.

Since then, the Ravens Girls Flag football initiative has expanded across the state with the ultimate goal of becoming a state-sanctioned sport.

The Ravens made monetary contributions, and Under Armour donated uniforms to all schools participating to benefit the teams and student-athletes from Baltimore City, Frederick County, Montgomery County and Washington County. The team also provided opportunities throughout the year to engage with the Ravens and participate in unique programming.

12/1 The Baltimore Ravens and T. Rowe price honored the 2024 winners of the Community Quarterback Award.

12/13 Jack Walsh of Arundel High School was recognized as the 2024 Baltimore Ravens High School Coach of the Year.

On Sept. 4, to open the second season of girls flag football, the Ravens hosted a 26-game opening day kickoff event across eight locations in Maryland. On Nov. 8, to close the season, the Ravens hosted the 2024 Maryland High School Girls Flag Football Championship at M&T Bank Stadium. OLB Malik Harrison, OLB Tavius Robinson and ILB Trenton Simpson attended the championship to support the student-athletes.

During the Ravens - Browns game, county champions Boonsboro Warriors, Linganore Lancers, Dunbar Poets and state champion Clarksburg Coyotes were all recognized pregame as they ran out of the team tunnel. In 2025, the Ravens eye more state-wide growth for the program.

12/13 Chad Hartman of Boonsboro High School was recognized as the inaugural Baltimore Ravens Girls Flag Coach of the Year.
