Ravens’ records have been superseded as the NFL will now include records from the AAFC.
In 2019, the Ravens broke the NFL’s team rushing record. Last season, they broke the NFL’s team yards per carry record. That is, until the Competition Committee reported to NFL owners that the statistics from the AAFC will be incorporated into the NFL’s official records.
“Included in the Competition Committee report to NFL owners in advance of the Annual League Meeting was notice that the statistics from the AAFC — players, coaches and teams — will finally be incorporated into the NFL’s official records, just as the AFL records were incorporated into the NFL’s record when the merger was completed,” NFL.com’s Judy Battista wrote. “The report was officially approved by the owners in Palm Beach on Tuesday.”
Fortunately, Jackson’s yards per carry, which ranks third in NFL history, managed to edge out the addition of Hall of Fame fullback and linebacker Marion Motley. However, the team records are now both second in the NFL, behind the 1948 San Francisco 49ers.
“And the San Francisco 49ers of 1948 amassed 3,663 yards rushing, which puts them in first place all-time over the 2019 Baltimore Ravens, who had 3,296 rushing yards,” Battista wrote. “The 1948 49ers averaged 6.1 yards per run in 1948, which will also put them in first place, just ahead of the 2024 Ravens, who averaged 5.8 yards per carry.”
