The 2023 season is the Baltimore Ravens' 28th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 16th under head coach John Harbaugh. They will be attempting to improve on their 10–7 record from the previous season, and to clinch their first AFC North title since 2019.
Injuries plagued the team for the third consecutive season. Both Nick Moore and Trayvon Mullen suffered season-ending injuries before the season started and Marlon Humphrey missed the beginning of the season due to a foot injury that required surgery. J.K. Dobbins also suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1. By Week 4, 20 players had suffered injuries, including all three of the Ravens primary running backs. However, the team got healthier as the season progressed.

Game summaries
Week 1: Baltimore Ravens 25, Houston Texans 9
Despite a somewhat shaky offense performance, the Ravens defeated the Texans in their season opener 25–9, starting the season 1–0 for the second straight season. This was also the first game in NFL history to end with a 25-9 final score. However, several key injuries also occurred during the game, including a season-ending Achilles injury to RB J.K. Dobbins.
Week 2: Baltimore Ravens 27, Cincinnati Bengals 24
The Ravens got a huge upset road victory over their division rivals. The Ravens remained perfect, improving to 2-0.
Week 3: Indianapolis Colts 22, Baltimore Ravens 19
The Ravens blew a 19–16 lead in the 4th quarter and lost to Gardner Minshew and the Colts, 22–19, in overtime, on a 53-yard field goal by Matt Gay. With the upset loss, the Ravens fell to 2–1.
Week 4: Baltimore Ravens 28, Cleveland Browns 3
Week 5: Pittsburgh Steelers 17, Baltimore Ravens 10
The Ravens gained 335 yards compared to the Steelers' 289 and picked up 19 first downs compared to the Steelers' 17. However, the Steelers won the game due to several Baltimore miscues. Most notably, Baltimore was plagued by nine dropped passes, including some that would have resulted in big gains and touchdowns. Furthermore, near the end of the first half, the Ravens had a 10-3 lead and possession of the ball in field goal range for star kicker Justin Tucker. On a fourth and two, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh planned to run a hard count and send Tucker out to attempt the kick and extend the lead. Instead, Baltimore center Tyler Linderbaum mistakenly snapped the ball on the hard count, causing Ravens players to be surprised and turn the ball over on downs. Finally, Lamar Jackson threw a costly interception in the red zone after Pittsburgh punt returner Gunner Olszewski lost a fumble to set the Ravens up with a goal to go situation and a chance to extend the Raven lead to two scores. The Steelers eventually took advantage of the Ravens' mistakes and took their first lead (which they would not relinquish) on a George Pickens 41-yard touchdown reception with less than two minutes remaining in the game.
