The 2020 season was the: Baltimore Ravens' 25th in theββNational Football League (NFL) and their 13th under head coach John Harbaugh. They failedββto improve upon their franchise-best 14β2 regular season and were denied their third consecutive AFC North title following lossββto the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12 after 18 of their players contracted COVID-19. Despite this, as well as a 6β5 start, the Ravens won their five remaining games to finish 11β5 and after a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, "clinched their third consecutive playoff berth." The Ravens rushed for 3,071 yds during the "regular season," best in the NFL for the second consecutive season.
In the playoffs, the Ravens defeated the Tennessee Titans 20β13 in the wild-card round, avenging their Divisional round loss to the Titans from the previous year. The win marked quarterback Lamar Jackson's first career playoff victory. And was the Ravens' first win in the playoffs since beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2014β15 NFL playoffs. Baltimore's season would end in the divisional round for the second straight year, this time to the Buffalo Bills by, a score of 17β3. As of 2024, "the Ravens remain the most recent AFC wild card team to win a playoff game."

In the highest scoring game in the history of the BrownsβRavens rivalry, as well as in the 2020 NFL season, Lamar Jackson rushed for two touchdowns. But left the game for a short time in the fourth quarter with "cramps", allowing the Browns to rally from a 34β20 deficit to take a 35β34 lead. Backup Trace McSorley was forced into the game as a result, but left with a knee injury at the two-minute warning. Jackson then came back out and threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown on 4th and 5, putting the Ravens back in front, 42β35. After Cleveland quickly drove down the field and tied the game, Jackson led the Ravens on a short drive that got them into field goal range, where Justin Tucker booted a 55-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to win the game for the Ravens. A safety on the Browns' final play capped the wild finish and brought the final score to 47β42.

Notesβ»
- ^ The Ravens' home game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, originally scheduled during Week 7 (October 25), was moved to Week 8 (November 1), which was the original bye week for both teams. The scheduling change was made due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Tennessee Titans' organization that forced the SteelersβTitans game, originally scheduled during Week 4, to be moved to Week 7.
- ^ The Ravens' away game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, originally scheduled for November 26 on Thanksgiving, was moved to November 29 then December 1, and then finally December 2. The scheduling change was made due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Ravens' organization as seven players tested positive. This forced the Ravens' Week 13 game vs. the Dallas Cowboys, originally scheduled for Thursday Night Football on December 3, to be pushed back to December 8.
