Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs, September 5, 2024

  • The Baltimore Ravens open the 2024 season by battling the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Kickoff Game (Sept. 5, 8:20 p.m. ET). By starting with KC, the Ravens are facing a reigning Super Bowl champion in Week 1 for the first time in franchise history. The matchup – featuring QB Lamar Jackson (2019 & 2023) and QB Patrick Mahomes (2018 & 2022) – marks the first time in NFL history that multiple-time league MVPs will square off in Week 1.
  • In his 17th season at the Baltimore helm, John Harbaugh stands as the NFL's second-longest-tenured head coach (Mike Tomlin – 18). The Ravens have produced a 12-4 mark in Week 1 games under Harbaugh, winning seven of their past eight openers.
  • In 2023, the AFC North Champion Ravens produced the NFL's best regular season record (13-4) and earned a No. 1 playoff seed. After beating the Houston Texans, 34-10, in the Divisional Round, the Ravens fell, 17-10, at home in the AFC Championship to the eventual Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
  • The 2023 Ravens tallied an NFL-record 10 victories vs. teams that finished with a winning record, and they posted six wins vs. playoff teams. Baltimore also ranked No. 1 in the NFL in both point differential (+203) and turnover margin (+12, tied w/ NYG).
  • In 2023, the Ravens became the first team in league history to finish a season ranking No. 1 in each points allowed (16.5 ppg), sacks (60) and takeaways (31, tied w/ NYG).
  • Led by QB Lamar Jackson, who was voted the 2023 AP NFL MVP for the second time (also 2019) in his career, Baltimore ranked No. 4 in scoring (28.4 ppg) and No. 6 in total yards (370.4), averaging a NFL-high 156.5 rushing yards per game.
