====2014====

 

 

In Week 17, Aiken caught a 2-yard touchdown pass to seal a win over the division rival [[Cleveland Browns]], and the Ravens clinched the AFC's final [[2014-15 NFL playoffs|playoff]] spot. Aiken's final stats for the game would be 2 [[Reception (American football)|receptions]] for 13 yards.

 

 

Aiken finished the 2014 season with 24 receptions, 267 receiving yards, and 3 touchdowns.

 

====2015====

In his second year after the departure of Torrey Smith, Aiken was expected to compete for a starting spot. As a result of injuries to [[Steve Smith Sr.]], [[Breshad Perriman]], [[Dennis Pitta]], and [[Crockett Gilmore]], he would end up being the Ravens' leading receiver during the year.

 

 

 

 

The following week, in a [[Monday Night Football]] game against the Browns, Aiken would be a huge factor in a shootout game that came down to the wire, catching 6 passes for 80 yards and a 15-yard touchdown. On the final play of regulation, the Browns were in position for a game-winning [[field goal]]. Baltimore's [[Brent Urban]] would block a [[Travis Coons]] kick that would be recovered by Ravens' safety [[Will Hill]] and returned 64 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
