The Ravens–Titans rivalry is a professional American football rivalry between the Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans in the National Football League’s American Football Conference. Originally divisional rivals in the AFC Central, the Ravens and Titans eventually moved into the AFC North and AFC South respectively. However, despite moving into separate divisions, this didn't stop the strong enmity that the two teams had for each other during the 2000s.[2][3][4][5][6] The teams have met in the playoffs five times (the visiting team has won all five games) and are both known for their strong defensive play. The rivalry is one of the tightest in the NFL with the Ravens leading 14–13; (the Ravens presently lead in overall points scored 506–451), and the road team has won sixteen of the first twenty-seven meetings through 2023.[7] In 2020, CBS ranked it as the No. 7 NFL rivalry of the 2000s.[8]

Furthermore, both teams do not play every year as they play in different divisions; instead, they play once every three years and once every six seasons at each team's home stadium due to the NFL's rotating division schedules during which their respective divisions are paired up, if they meet in the playoffs, or if the two teams finish in the same place in their respective divisions, they would play each other the following season.[9][10][11]
