The 2004 season was the Baltimore Ravens' 9th in the National Football League (NFL), their 6th under head coach Brian Billick, and their 3rd season under general manager Ozzie Newsome.
They were unable to improve upon their previous output of 10–6 and a playoff appearance, instead going 9–7 and missing the playoffs ending in a season of disappointment.
The 2004 season was the subject of the John Feinstein non-fiction book Next Man Up; the result of Feinstein spending the season behind the scenes with the team.
It was highlighted by then-37-year-old Deion Sanders making a comeback after three years out of football. Meanwhile, Jamal Lewis, who was coming off a historic 2003 season, was arrested for drug charges and earned a two-game suspension by the NFL. He would finish the season with just 1,006 yards rushing as the Ravens were one of the worst offenses in the NFL in 2004. Ed Reed, who had 9 interceptions for the season, was named Defensive Player of the Year.
For the season, the Ravens introduced black alternate uniforms for the first time in franchise history.
