The Baltimore Ravens will be playing playoff football in January, though few expected their path to the postseason to be this treacherous.

The Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday but had already been guaranteed a spot in the playoffs weeks earlier. There was talk of a potential coin toss for home field advantage if the Ravens had beat the Bengals (and if the Los Angeles Chargers had beat the Broncos), yet neither of those outcomes came true.

In a season stained by Lamar Jackson’s injury — and his cloudy recovery timeline — the Ravens don’t stand a chance in the stacked AFC without their star quarterback.

In Jackson’s absence, the best thing the Ravens can do is revert to their gritty, defensive brand of football to beat offensively better teams and try to avoid an early playoff exit. Per ESPN, they have a 3.2 percent chance of making it to the Super Bowl.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Ravens’ playoff schedule in 2023.

What seed are the Ravens in the playoffs?

The Ravens are the No. 6 seed in the playoffs.

The AFC playoff field is as follows:

  4. Jacksonville Jaguars (9-8)
  5. Los Angeles Chargers (10-7)
