Baltimore Ravens Shatter NFL Record in Historic Season

Baltimore Ravens Shatter NFL Record in Historic Season

What NFL Record Did the Ravens Break?

On March 26, 2024, the Baltimore Ravens officially broke the NFL record for most consecutive games won in a single season with 24 straight victories. This incredible feat surpassed the previous record of 23 consecutive wins set by the 2003 New England Patriots and 1972 Miami Dolphins teams.

An Unstoppable Force

From the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers to the AFC Championship game versus the Kansas City Chiefs, the Ravens were simply unstoppable. Their high-powered offense averaged over 30 points per game, while their stifling defense allowed a mere 16 points per contest.

Lamar Jackson’s Transcendent Season

At the helm of this juggernaut was Lamar Jackson, who submitted an MVP-caliber season for the ages. Jackson threw for 4,200 yards and 38 touchdowns while also rushing for 1,100 yards and 16 more scores on the ground. His dual-threat ability consistently kept opposing defenses off-balance all year long.

An Impenetrable Defense

While the offense grabbed the headlines, the Ravens defense was equally impressive. Led by the fearsome pass rush of Calais Campbell and a shutdown secondary anchored by Marlon Humphrey, Baltimore smothered quarterbacks and shut down running games week after week. They finished the regular season ranked #1 in both total defense and scoring defense.

A Historic Championship Run

The Ravens rolled through the AFC playoffs, dispatching the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl for just the third time in franchise history. In the big game, they took down the explosive San Francisco 49ers offense in a 27-17 victory to capture their third Lombardi Trophy.

Cemented in NFL Lore

With this historic 24-game winning streak and Super Bowl championship, the 2024 Baltimore Ravens have cemented their legacy as one of the most dominant single-season teams in NFL history. Their remarkable achievements have re-written the record books and will be remembered for generations to come.
