2024 Summary (W-L Record: 12-5)

On paper, it’s somewhat inconceivable that the Ravens didn’t get past the AFC Divisional Round last season. They were one of the best passing teams in the league. They were the best running team. The combination of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry was borderline unstoppable. And while the defense wasn’t quite what it was a year earlier, they ultimately finished as a top-10 unit overall:

But for the second straight season, the Ravens just couldn’t put it all together when they needed to. In the 2023 AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, it was the offense that didn’t do its part. Last year the defense didn’t provide enough resistance against Buffalo. In both games, there were too many mistakes in critical moments.

All that said, there were so many areas of this team that were elite in 2024 and provide promise for what could be this season.

Baltimore had the best run defense in the NFL (1st in rushing yards per game, yards per attempt, and runs of 10 yards or more allowed). Many offenses realized they couldn’t run it on the Ravens at all, so they didn’t even try. Baltimore faced the lowest run-play frequency in the NFL as a result.

Their pass rush was tough to deal with as well, ranking 2nd in the league with 54 sacks.

On offense, the passing game was efficient and explosive. They finished 1st in net yards per pass attempt, Lamar Jackson ranked 1st in passer rating, and the Ravens completed the 6th-most passes of 20 yards or more.

But the bread and butter of this team was their running game. They not only led the NFL in most major categories, but they were also first in yards per attempt before contact AND after contact.

Derrick Henry was especially effective on 1st down. During the regular season, he had 197 first-down rushes, which was 61% of his total carries for the season. He averaged 6.1 yards per rush on those carries with 29 runs of 10+ yards. That set the offense up for success on 3rd down (where they finished 3rd in the NFL).

On top of all that, defenses had to contend with Lamar Jackson’s legs. 570 of his 915 rushing yards came on designed runs according to PFF data. No other QB was within 250 yards of Jackson in this area.

You can see just how versatile their rushing attack was in this breakdown:
