Baltimore Beatdown
The Baltimore Ravens won first place in the AFC North, meaning they’ll face yet another first-place schedule in 2025.
The 2024 regular season has concluded for the Baltimore Ravens. With their victory over the Cleveland Browns, they secured back-to-back division titles and with it another first-place schedule for the 2025 season. While the schedule won’t be out for months, their opponents for next year are known.
As always, they’ll face their division foes both home and away. However, they’ll now face the AFC East, NFC North and the division champions of the AFC South, AFC West and NFC West.
Home: Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Rams
Away: Bengals, Browns, Steelers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs
Early takeaways:
Yes, a lot will change between now and then, but the schedule as it appears is once again daunting. The Ravens faced a mighty challenge in 2024 and while they won the division, it took a few breaks along with their own mistakes. It may be the case in 2025 if they hope to go for a division three-peat.
Once again, they’ll be in Kansas City. They’ll also be heading to face Josh Allen and the Bills in Buffalo. We can chalk both of those in prime time slots.
The home schedule appears a bit more favorable, seeing as the Patriots, Jets and Bears were all pitiful in 2024 and look to be dealing with significant issues as the 2024 season concludes.
