The 2008 Baltimore Ravens season was the franchise's thirteenth season in the National Football League, the first under head coach John Harbaugh and their seventh season under general manager Ozzie Newsome. Quarterback Joe Flacco, drafted 18th overall in the 2008 draft became the first quarterback in NFL history to win multiple playoff games in their rookie season. Flacco would be joined by Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets the following year, the same Jets that would ironically be led by Rex Ryan, who at the time was the Ravens' defensive coordinator.
