The 2023 Baltimore Ravens were nothing short of historic, with the defense becoming the first unit ever to lead the league in points scored, sacks and takeaways in a single season and the offense leveling up under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The result was a point differential of +204, the 28th-best point differential of the Super Bowl era and just the second point differential of +200 or better since 2013 (with the other being the 2019 Ravens). Despite those incredible numbers, the Ravens couldn't reach their first Super Bowl since 2012, with the offense falling flat in a 17-10 AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Big things are again expected for the Ravens in 2024, but they will have to come while navigating a significant amount of upheaval this offseason. Gone is the architect of that historic defense, with Mike Macdonald leaving for a head-coaching opportunity and being replaced internally by former linebacker Zach Orr. Also gone are three pieces of the offensive line that played a big role in Baltimore's offensive success, leaving the team with nothing but unproven options for those starting roles next to the excellent Tyler Linderbaum at center and the injury-prone Ronnie Stanley at left tackle.

Fortunately for the Ravens, they have a bit of a cheat code in one of the NFL's best head coaches, as John Harbaugh has taken the team to the playoffs 11 times in his 16-year tenure, a mark made more impressive by how competitive the AFC North is year in and year out. Coming off an even better 2019 season (14-2, +249 point differential), Harbaugh's team took a small step back on both sides of the ball and wound up finishing 11-5 and a game behind the Steelers in the divisional race. The market is expecting 11 wins again from Baltimore this year, and whether they can get there will depend on how the new pieces critical to Baltimore's success perform with a daunting schedule in front of them.
