Throughout the 2023 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens were arguably the best team in the league, with superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson getting back to form as one of the elite players under center.
The Ravens were stacked offensively, with Jackson winning his second NFL MVP award while the defense was getting the job done, making Baltimore one of the best all-around teams in the league.
Even though the Ravens headed into the NFL playoffs as arguably the best team in the NFL, Baltimore fell flat in the AFC Championship Game after beating CJ Stroud and the upstart Houston Texans in the previous round.
Jackson and company couldn’t go toe-to-toe with the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, as they were exposed for their shortcomings with their superstar quarterback struggling to play at an MVP level.
Bill Barnwell of ESPN believes that the Ravens will be one of the teams on the decline heading into the 2024 NFL season via NFL on ESPN.
Along with the Ravens, Barnwell also believes the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns will be on the decline during the 2024 campaign.

The three teams that stick out on this list are the Ravens, Eagles and Browns, with many predicting that these three teams will be playoff squads and potential Super Bowl title contenders.
Baltimore’s success will lean heavily on Jackson having another solid season and leading the offense, which could be high-powered if everything goes well during the regular season.
