NFL · AFC North · Baltimore, Maryland, US · M&T Bank Stadium
Born from the grief of a city that lost the Colts and forged into a franchise that plays football the way Baltimore lives — tough, physical, and with a chip on its shoulder the size of the Inner Harbor. Two Super Bowls and Lamar Jackson's brilliance define the modern Ravens.

John Harbaugh and the Ravens agreed to part ways after 18 seasons, ending one of the most successful coaching tenures in NFL history. The decision came after an 8-9 season that saw Baltimore miss the playoffs entirely. Harbaugh was quickly hired by the New York Giants, and the Ravens turned to a new generation of leadership.
The Ravens hired Jesse Minter as their new head coach, betting on the young defensive mind to revitalize the franchise. Minter inherits a roster anchored by Lamar Jackson, who remained one of the most dynamic players in football despite the team's struggles. The challenge is building a roster around Jackson that can compete in a loaded AFC.
At 29, Lamar Jackson is still in his prime, but the Ravens' 8-9 season and coaching overhaul have cost valuable time. GM Eric DeCosta faces tough decisions about aging veterans and defensive investments. The championship window with Jackson is still open, but the 2026 offseason under the new coaching regime is pivotal.
