2002 Baltimore Ravens season

The 2002 Baltimore Ravens season was the team's seventh season in the National Football League (NFL). They were unable to improve upon their previous output of 10–6, instead winning only seven games and missing the playoffs for the first time in three years.

Running back Jamal Lewis made his return to the lineup after missing the previous season from a knee injury. Baltimore's defense took a large step back from its normally high level of play in 2002. Star linebacker Ray Lewis suffered a shoulder injury which limited him to playing in only five games during the season also standout defensive end Michael McCrary was limited to five games due to injury and would retire the following season, and the team finished 19th in scoring defense after finishing 4th in the NFL the previous year. The Ravens switched to the 3-4 defensive scheme under new coordinator Mike Nolan as Marvin Lewis left for the Washington Redskins in the off-season.
