The 2008 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 13th in the National Football League (NFL), their 1st under head coach John Harbaugh, and their 7th season under general manager Ozzie Newsome.
The Ravens completed a major turnaround from the 2007 season, finishing the season with an 11–5 record and a playoff berth. They defeated the Miami Dolphins in the wild-card round of the playoffs, and then in the divisional round they defeated the Tennessee Titans, who had compiled the best record in the NFL over the regular season. However, in the AFC championship game, the Ravens' season came to an end as they were defeated by their division rival and eventual Super Bowl XLIII champion Pittsburgh Steelers, denying what would have been a bird-themed Super Bowl, with the other finalists being the Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles.
Quarterback Joe Flacco, drafted 18th overall in the 2008 draft became the first quarterback in NFL history to win multiple playoff games in their rookie season. Flacco would be joined by Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets the following year, the same Jets that would be led by Rex Ryan, who at the time was the Ravens' defensive coordinator.
