They will be the hungriest team coming into the 2020 season:

There is perhaps no team that will have a bigger chip on their shoulder than the Baltimore Ravens. The loss to the Tennessee Titans was unexpected and obviously heartbreaking for the Ravens as they had the best regular season in the NFL. The Ravens, rightfully, feel that they are the best team in the NFL and they will be back to get to a Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson promised as much when he was drafted by Baltimore and he talks about it all the time. Being denied the Super Bowl this year should only drive the Ravens, even more, to be great.

The majority of the Ravens pro bowl players are under contract and should all feel the same way, that they were denied a chance to win a super bowl and are ready to come back and finish the job. This same thing happened to Kansas City last year, as they had New England where they wanted them, but did not win the game. The Seattle Seahawks lost to the Falcons in 2012 and came back to win the Super Bowl the next year. This Ravens team is in a similar situation, expect the Ravens to be even more dangerous next year.

Though this year ended in disappointment, the Baltimore Ravens should be back in the playoffs next year. Hopefully, 2020 will be the year Lamar Jackson delivers on his promise of bringing a Super Bowl to Baltimore.
