The 2017 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 22nd in the National Football League (NFL) and their 10th under head coach John Harbaugh. This was also the 10th season with Joe Flacco as the team's starting quarterback. The Ravens improved on the previous season's 8–8 record, but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive season because of a last second touchdown in a 31–27 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, combined with a Buffalo Bills' victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 17.

The Ravens put out their largest point total of the season despite a combined 121 passing yards from Joe Flacco and Ryan Mallett. The Ravens defense forced an end zone fumble and scored twice on interceptions in the fourth quarter. With the game completely in hand the appearance of a stray cat on the field past the two-minute warning caused some amusement in the CBS Sports television booth.

The Ravens came into Lambeau Field having never won a game with a 0–3 record there. However, they forced five turnovers off a Packers offense struggling greatly without injured star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which proved costly as the Ravens got their third shutout of the season 23–0, their first ever win in Wisconsin.

The Ravens' playoff dreams were dashed in heartbreaking fashion after Eric Weddle's would be game-winning interception was negated by a defensive pass interference call, in which the drive ended with a go-ahead Bengals touchdown. After a 4th down Flacco pass to Wallace that failed to convert into a 1st down, the Ravens turned over the ball and lost to the Bengals. This loss would be significant because in addition to eliminating them from the playoffs, it allowed the Buffalo Bills to make the playoffs for the first time since the 1999 season.
