C OAC H H A R B S S AY S COACH HARBAUGH ON BUILDING A TEAM TO FINISH STRONG:
“Over the years, we’ve been great finishers, in terms of December and January football. I do think the last four or five years, that has not been the case, and we had been playing good football [prior to that]. We have to play winning football at the end of the season. We have to do everything we can to be as healthy as we can be. We’re building something for the long haul; that's what we try to do. Let’s see if we can get it done.”
(10-7)
QUICK HITS ✗ In their 28th year, the Baltimore Ravens open the 2023 preseason by hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 12 (7 p.m. kickoff).
I N J U RY U P DAT E
✗ The Ravens have not lost a preseason game since 2015, posting
Two Ravens are currently on the Active/PUP list and have yet to practice during training camp: WR Rashod Bateman and RB J.K. Dobbins. OLB Tyus Bowser, LS Nick Moore and rookie G Andrew Vorhees are on the Active/NFI (Non-Football Injury) list, while CB Trayvon Mullen is on Reserve/NFI).
an impressive 23-0 record dating back to 2016. The 23 straight wins mark the longest streak in NFL preseason history, surpassing Green Bay’s 19 from 1959-62.
✗ With a 10-7 regular season record in 2022, the Ravens clinched a playoff berth for the fourth time (2018-20, 2022) in the past five seasons and for the 10th time during John Harbaugh's 15 years as head coach.
NOTE THE QUOTE NBC'S PETER KING ON FIRST-ROUND PICK WR ZAY FLOWERS: ”The most impressive rookie I have seen in six camps is Zay Flowers. He lines up across from a corner, and unless they literally interfere with him or hold him, he has tremendous separation on almost every cut. His quickness, his speed out of cuts is going to be a thing to watch in the NFL this year."
✗ In 2023, Harbaugh enters his 16th season at the helm in Baltimore, positioning him as the NFL's third-longest-tenured head coach (Bill Belichick – 24 seasons & Mike Tomlin – 17).
✗ In 2022, Baltimore finished second in the AFC North behind a 12-4
Cincinnati team that played one fewer game overall. The Ravens split the regular season series with the Bengals, but then fell at Cincinnati, 24-17, in a Wild Card playoff.

✗ Despite QB Lamar Jackson (knee) missing the 2022 season's
final six games and Baltimore losing both starting wideouts – WR Rashod Bateman (foot, Oct. 27) and WR/RS Devin Duvernay (foot, Dec. 20) – to season-ending injuries, the Ravens produced at least 10 wins for the ninth time during Harbaugh's tenure (since 2008).
