The 2018 season was the Baltimore Ravens ' 23rd season in the National Football League and their 11th under head coach John Harbaugh .
On October 14, 2018, the Ravens set a franchise record, sacking Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota 11 times in a 21–0 Week 6 win against the Tennessee Titans .
After struggling to a 4–5 record for the second straight year, the Ravens went on a 6–1 run to finish 10–6 on the season, thanks to the emergence of Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson , who replaced longtime QB Joe Flacco due to injury. They clinched the AFC North after defeating the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2014 and winning their division for the first time since 2012 . However they lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 23–17 in the wild-card round.
As of 2019, it marks the first time the Ravens won a division title in the post-Ray Lewis era.
This is also the last season under general manager Ozzie Newsome as he would step down following the 2018 season and have assistant general manager Eric DeCosta fill in his role.
