the first time the Ravens missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons since 2004–2005, as well as the first in the Harbaugh/Flacco era. 2017 The Ravens were eliminated from playoff contention during the final week of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals. Needing to stop the Bengals offense one last time in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, they instead allowed Andy Dalton to connect with Tyler Boyd for a 49-yard game-winning touchdown on fourth and long. The Ravens finished at 9–7, losing out on tiebreakers to the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills for the wild card spots in the playoffs. 2018 The Ravens started the season at 4–5 and were in danger of missing the playoffs again.
