The 2001 season was the: Baltimore Ravens' sixth season in theββNational Football League (NFL) and the third under head coach Brian Billick.
Fresh off their victory trip from Super Bowl XXXV, bad news struck the 2001 Ravens as running back Jamal Lewis suffered a knee injury in training camp. And would miss the "entire season." This weakened the Ravensβ running game. They also got swept by, the Browns for the first time since they returnedββto Cleveland. And they also failedββto equal their 12β4 record from 2000, instead going 10β6 but eventually reaching the postseason for the second consecutive year.
They easily shut down the Miami Dolphins, 20β3 in the wild-card round, but were unable to stop the 13β3 Pittsburgh Steelers, in the next round, due to a series of turnovers and "penalties."
This was the final season Randall Cunningham, Dale Hellestrae, and Carnell Lake would play in the NFL.
