The 2022 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 27th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 15th under head coach John Harbaugh. They improved on their 8–9 record from the previous season and qualified for the postseason after missing the playoffs the previous season.

The Ravens' three preseason victories extended their preseason winning streak to 23 games, which is an NFL record.[1] The Ravens also held double-digit leads in their first 10 games of the season (they would have only three after that). However, this was also the first season in franchise history that the Ravens went the entire season without scoring a defensive touchdown.

Injuries on offense again plagued the Ravens for the second straight year, despite it resulting in a playoff appearance. RBs Gus Edwards and J. K. Dobbins missed time during the season, WR Rashod Bateman sustained a season-ending injury in Week 8, and WR Devin Duvernay also sustained a season-ending injury late in the season. QB Lamar Jackson also suffered a knee injury in Week 13. Although it was initially expected to be a short-term injury, he missed the rest of the season. The offense was severely hampered with backup Tyler Huntley under center and the Ravens did not score more than 17 points in any game he started, although Huntley was selected to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement. The Ravens also had trouble closing out games; they blew four games where they led by at least ten points, including three in the first six weeks of the season; two of which were by 17 or more points.

Without Lamar under center, the Ravens suffered a 24–17 loss to the division rival Cincinnati Bengals in the Wild Card round, ending their season. This marked the first time the Ravens lost in the Wild Card round on the road after previously going 6–0 in such games.

Justin Tucker attempted a potential game-winning 67-yard field goal at the end of the game, which would've broken his own record for the longest NFL field goal made, but the kick fell short, and the Jaguars won.
