The [[2016 NFL season|2016 season]] was the [[Baltimore Ravens]]' 21st season in the [[National Football League]] and the ninth under [[List of Baltimore Ravens head coaches|head coach]] [[John Harbaugh]]. With a week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens improved upon their 5–11 record from [[2015 Baltimore Ravens season|2015]], finishing the season 8–8. Despite the improvement, the Ravens failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive year after losing to the Steelers in Week 16. It was the first time the Ravens missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since 2004–2005, and their first consecutive non-winning seasons since 1996–1999. They did, however, improve their position in the division, finishing in second place after finishing in third place for the previous three seasons.<ref>{{cite web |title=2016 Baltimore Ravens Players and statistics |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2016.htm |website=pro-footballreference.com |publisher=Pro Football Reference |accessdate=26 December 2019}}</ref>

The 2016 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 21st in the National Football League (NFL) and their ninth under head coach John Harbaugh. With a week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens improved upon their 5–11 record from 2015, finishing the season 8–8. Despite the improvement, the Ravens failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second consecutive year after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day in Week 16. It was the first time the Ravens missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since 20042005, and their first consecutive non-winning seasons since 19961999. They did, however, improve their position in the division, finishing in second place after finishing in third place for the previous three seasons.[1]

Notes

  • The Ravens traded their fifth-round selection and center Gino Gradkowski to the Denver Broncos in exchange for the Broncos' fourth-round selection. However, Gradkowski was released by the Broncos prior to the 2015 season.
  • The Ravens traded their seventh-round selection to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for cornerback Will Davis.
  • The Ravens received two fourth-round and a sixth-round compensatory pick (Nos. 132, 134, and 209 respectively) as the result of a negative differential of free agent signings and departures that the Ravens experienced during the 2015 free agency period.
